Thanks for the input Nick. My aim is not to set prices, but instead to see a range of prices so that those who are charging a dollar an hour can come to a realization that all they’re doing is making it impossible for folks to make a living in this industry. We all have the option to set our own price, and I seriously doubt I have the influence to cause folks to do otherwise 🙂 That said, I’m getting $450 a day with gear. Thanks for letting me know I’m getting taken advantage of.

I heard long ago that there was standard flv compression and then there was a more advance flv compression that was more superior in look and file savings. I actually had someone compress some files into that format about a year ago and they looked and streamed wonderfully. I just don’t know how they did it, and rather than paying someone else I’d rather start doing it for my own web pages and client pages.

So compressor can do flash compression in the advanced format?

Jeff,
I think I mislead you. I know there’s no possibility to stream true broadcast quality, so I’m ok with the standard quarter screen that most consumers have come to accept. The day we get to the point that we can stream full screen video, we will be doing everything different.
Thanks for your input,

Once again, you amaze me with your bag of tricks. I feel like I should be paying a hefty consult fee.

So, let’s step into the world of “wish I could”. T1 lines, from what I understand, are simply multiple phone lines used to increase the bandwidth. So what if we used multiple cards? Probably the dumbest question I’ve ever ask, but someone will probably expand on this with something that just might work.

Thanks Jeff! When you say “card”, do you mean a wireless card to use cel service?

In Alaska I’ll be shooting a lot of footage with suspended cable rigs, both vertical and horizontal… very similar to Planet Earth. But, the stuff we want to stream won’t be the set-up shots.
I have to say, you are on the top of the food chain when it comes to both post and shooting. Thanks for all your help. I enjoyed talking to someone with real experience.

The half in chip would be wonderful. I’ve got a Redrock 35mm lense adapter, and once you shoot with real 35mm depth of field it’s hard to shoot anything else. But, I don’t think folks will notice the difference on a quarter screen image. I just uploaded a commercial I shot with the Redrock and, although it’s nice, consumers aren’t going to know the difference.

Wow, you’re an abundance of information! I guess I’ll stop trying to stump you with questions 🙂 I really appreciate all the info. After reading your profile I realize I’m talking to the king of compression.
My one concern is heat, and the banging around of the laptop. At $3,500 it’s not something I can easily replace. Oh the dilemma.
