Hi all, A few questions live streaming video. I have been asked to gather some information and then possibly build a website which has live streaming music and video of jazz bands that people will pay to watch (video on demand via payment first). I have never built live streaming into a website before so I have no idea where to start (apart from asking the boffins on in this place) 1) I understand that I will need recording equipment for both video and audio. 2) A computer with broadcasting software - should it be Mac, PC or Linux? I understand that Linux may be the best bet with this, but would like advice on this. 3) A computer with Darwin Streaming server software or similar? I think I am in the right direction with the above, but it would be great if someone could confirm this. The next bit is with regard to the webhost. 1) I know this will take up a large amount of space and large chunks of bandwidth but how do you decide how much you will need in both cases? 2) Will it be better to have a dedicated server form the webhost or take the shared server route option? I do have this thread in one other forum (I know this is not the correct way to do things) that specializes in this topic but its getting less traffic than a main road on the moon. Thanks in advance.
Hi, You can stream from your windows computer.. but you will need a strong windows servers so you can connect to your server and your clients can connect to windows server bassically you relay it on your windows server you transfer data to windows server and then users see it through your windows server.It is becuase you need very fast connection if you do that via your home pc when many people will connect your computer will lag and alot more problems also you will need Windows Media Streaming in Windows 2003 Standard Version(As, it's best for streaming) Thanks!
