Those are great – how do I go about getting scoreboard graphics like that?

And thanks for all the help

Great information – so to be clear – I can add a firewire port to my laptop (I have 1 already) and thus have 2 camcorders attached to one laptop and use wirecast to switch – the 2 firewire connections both using video would not crush my CPU? And by budget i mean “as cheap as possible” – the tricaster is not the direction I want to go in at this point until we can find a way to make this profitable.

Here is another issue was thinking about – I have 2 HD camcorders that I need to switch between – I did look at wirecast – I thought it would not work because I have to have 2 firewire connections. Which brings up another issue – how can I connect the 2nd camera which will be a ways away from the first? Can you extend firewire a long distance? Is that feasible?

Thanks

I tried looking at those links and it says does not exist. I look into the wirecast – the only issue I had was with the graphic overlays for the scoreboard stuff.

I am looking at the photo-jpeg codec and it gives me compressor options for quaity – when you say 100% you mean I should set this to best? Then it gives me an options button which leads to a pop-up box that gives “optimizing for streaming” I assume I should check that?

Thanks for the help I dont know where I would be without this forum- I will download Episode tonight – any hints for that step?
