Console streaming and the like.

I haven't found a thread regarding this anywhere, so I figured making one would be my best bet.

I'm looking at getting into the streaming business with BBCS and I've got a few questions about it. I have some basic tools that will help with the whole deal, cables, an ATI TV Wonder HD750 and a very capable computer/upload bandwidth. However, I don't really know much about getting started with the whole shebang, so I'm looking for tips and somewhat of a tutorial on how to get there.

What sites/software are the best for live game streaming?

How do I set this all up so that it will be reliable?

and, What equipment is all needed for such things?

I'm posting this in hopes that this will help not only myself, but anyone else who wants to stream their matches and stuff like that.

All of them have different options, different benefits, and different plans. Additionally they'll all give you information on actually performing the stream. That's all the info I can give you.

Also, I'm going to move this to Guilty Pleasures, since that's our proper A/V forum and this isn't strictly BlazBlue related. You should be able to get more information there.

Alright, sounds good. Thanks.

I would prefer to use livestream since I have it all set-up already, though I have ready-made accounts for both of the other two.

From what I looked at on the ATI TV Wonder HD750 it's just Composite, S-Video, and Coax. That's SD not HD. Gotta love marketing on names. I guess i'll throw my recommendations.

Recording Hardware:

1. Blackmagic Intensity Pro

2. Hauppauge HD-PVR

Stream Software:

1. WireCast

2. VH Capture + Adobe Flash Live Media Encoder

Editing Software:

1/2. Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere

Sites:

1. What Circ said

Hmm. I mostly just bought it to test it out and see how well it works. I'll likely pick up something better later in the month once I have the money. Thanks for the info though, it's been very helpful so far. :3c

How is the BlitzBox HD? I'm looking for a more budgeted way to stream for the moment, since I can always upgrade later on. I've heard some good things about it but I've never really heard TOO much about it.

Since, yeah. I noticed the equipment you listed is well out of my current budget.
