I'm trying to help our church get services streamed live. For awhile it worked with uStream, then we tried Justin.TV (better framerate)
We were using a simple one-camera connection via firewire. It worked. Not great, but it worked. Now we're running three cameras out of an analog switcher, and I've hit an unexpected roadblock. The capture devices we've tried are not compatible/unseen by Flash Media Live Encoder. What's crazy is, NOBODY can tell us which devices WILL work.
I thought WDM drivers were supposed to solve this. I've tried ATi TV Wonder PCI, a Pinnacle D550, a WinTV160...in a fit I even tried a Dazzle DV170 (ok, stop laughing)
Nothing. WME9.0 is in the same boat -- it can detect fw or usb cameras.
I've spent a great deal of time and money and the church staff's patience is wearing thin.
I need a cheap solution. The Canopus AVDC110 is $100 too high. ANYBODY have a suggestion? Solution??
