Re: ustreamers



Andy, Steve, we must be thinking in different units here. I would give a lot for a 1.6 mbps! That's blazing upstream speed!
I broadcast often with a 10 mbps down and a .860 mbps upstream connection. The upstream is the important one here.

For broadcast I use the Flash Media Encoder for good control over quality. Video is 300 kbps, audio is 192 kbps stereo. So total upload used is under .500 mbps which leaves me some headroom to bring in a Ninjam session if I want (using a public server) which might add another 100 kpbs up so still safe.

So have we got our megs and kilos mixed up or what here? :). .7 mbps is 700 kbps, plenty o' speed for the upside of your connection. I am surprised that your down is the same, usually it's much faster down than up.

my .02 units worth,

J

Andy, I'm afraid .7 mbps upload speed is a bit slow for Ustream. You really nead at least around 1.6 upload, ideally a bit faster. Download speed is less important.

So, I'm sorry to say, while you're at the British Forum for Ethnomusicology, it looks like Ustream will be difficult for you.

Hey you ustreamers out there, I was gonna get on there, well I did, but
anyway, I am in BFE and my upload and download are about the same, .7
mbps. That aint fast enough is it?
