No, it’s 800K. I don’t even encode the video for that, keeping down
round 300-400K. I can say only once that it’s been a Ustream problem –
during a big promo they were running just when I was playing...

Steve,
you are saying that you have a 1.9 M upload speed?! I am thinking of switching
to cable from dsl for that very reason. I am maxed at .860 kbps up :( I
would lower your video to 200-300 max with a .7 though. IMO you need plenty of
headroom there. Video takes a backseat and having the show skipping/lagging
ruins it! That said sometimes it is Ustreams fault but mostly it's not
:) best, J

Well Jeff, I wasn't wrong about my connection,
but I WAS wrong about everything else. I just tested my connection and got 1.9
mbps, which is about what I expected. Then I checked my Flash Media Encoder
settings - I have it at 500 kbps for video and 192 stereo for audio, so I
should be able to broadcast that with Andy's .7 mbps connection.
I suppose that meas the occasional problems I had
in the past were not due, as I thought, to lack of upload speed. It seems I
was blaming my ISP, when I should have been blaming either Ustream, or my own
incompetance.
Thanks for putting me right, Jeff.
And Andy, ignore all I said before and get
Ustreaming!

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.

I am in BFE and my upload and download are about the same, .7
mbps.
That aint fast enough is it?
