I plan on doing some more experimenting with live stuff too. I tested out Ustream.tv and I kinda like them, but I'm open to trying others. I was wondering if anyone has noticed a big difference in streaming quality from one service or another. Because, one comment I got a lot was "the stream was gittery" or the audio was out of sync I happen to think that that would be the case with most streaming services but I don't know. It could also have something to do with my connection or the amount of movement in the frame.
If you want to see how the first "Live-Fi Saint Louis" went check it out here: http://lofistl.ning.com/video/video/show?id=814862%3AVideo% 3A9325 I had a friend doing camera for me (a DVX100 piped into my MacBook Pro via firewire) but the audio was from the MacBookPro because for some reason I couldn't get the audio from the camera to work with the flash interface without it crashing the browser. I tend to think that that was a Flash bug more than anything. But the audio turned out good none the less. We also rolled tape on the camera so that we have a good quaity record of the show--clips of which will appear on my vlog.
