I realize I might be joining the discussion a bit late here but I figured it would be to chip in anyway.
For the last couple of months I've been experimenting with recording/streaming the Django NYC meetings I've been helping to run. One thing we've found to work pretty well is livestreaming.com's procaster ( http://www.livestream.com/procaster). The nice thing about procaster is that it's specifically designed for streaming a screen capture so it's a bit smarter about the way it compresses things than the ustream type tools which turn the screen's output into a virtual webcam. Procaster also lets you do a picture in picture thing of the screen capture and a web cam. Unfortunately it doesn't have a linux version currently so it'd only be useful for the odd presenter running a windows or OS X machine. Something else we've been doing is both streaming the meeting as well as recording the presenter's screen so that we have a high quality capture to upload later. Similar to procaster I've been capturing both the screen and the webcam output. This way you get readable text and context. It works well as a fall back if the streaming breaks and it generally solves the readability problems for post-meeting viewing. Feel free to ignore any of this, just figured I'd share : ) ____________________________ Sean O'Connor http://seanoc.com On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 3:08 PM, Matthias Johnson < [email protected]> wrote: > On Jan 7, 2010, at 2:39 PM, Chris Knadle <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > If you actually compared what your box vs Joe's was showing then it > > might be worth investigating what made the difference.
