Re: [videoblogging] Recording live video chat in HD
Best bet for cheap, effective results is definitely the 'double ender'. This is how TV used to do remote interviews before satellite was an effective solution. As ever, the occasional use of old school techniques will give you best results even in the Internet age. A lot of audio-only podcasters still use this technique - record at both ends, then combine in post. For good results with video, especially in HD, recording at each source is best. If you have any control over the quality of the broadband connection at both ends you might eventually get to first-rate results, but I'd be surprised if it didn't take quite some time to perfect. This is all based on an assumed desire to keep the video glitch-free. If you are not too concerned with glitches, some frame dropping, or high compression on the footage, a web solution may do the trick just fine. But if you want a crispy clean final product, shoot at each end.

Looking for a solution for recording HD quality video from two locations simultaneously. 1 guy in NYC studio 1 guy in LA apartment The guys need to see each other and talk to each other live, and both video feeds need to be recorded in HD. If you want to record HD, you probably need to record the original signal from each end. So both LA and NYC need to record their own camera. http://www.livestream.com/ is a nice live stream service that gives you studio controls. You can choose you shows up on screen and bring in multiple people. Ryanne and I recently did a live event using Justin TV, whihc allows you to use QT Broadcaster. We recorded in pretty high quality MP4's...but certainly not HD. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790
