      Well, if it's to see and be seen on the Yahoo "Hairy little cock men" chat, you'll just need a $19 USB Webcam

          Well, that does not tell us much....
          What's the use?
          It can cost anywhere from $9.99 for a shitty USB cam up to multi thousands for an excellent Digital Cam

            For a noob to broadcast some girls. I can't get the kind of line I need for upload here. Can I upload to my host and they host for all my users with jsut a 3 second delay or something like that?


            I'm looking to spend $350 ish if that is possible.

              Best would be a vidum (can be had for $100 or less on ebay) capture card and a $250 digital 8 camcorder with a good zoom.
              All of our girls use that, $400 total cost.
              Problem is that some companies like Streamate are now using flash apps and those do not work well with capture card.
              Also, a good Logitech cam, like the newer one they have for $99 is more than sufficient for your girls top perform their community service

                          I think that would be fine. And the more options you have, the better. So sound would be good

                                  I forgot to mention I have a Radeon 9800 All In Wonder. Can it stream? If its better than the Osprey-100 I'll just use it.

                                      i would honestly suggest getting a minidv camera and feeding your stream with that rather than using a webcam, that way u can have the remote zoom and its much sharper from further away... i have used everything from intel pro III webcams to logitech 4000's but nothing compairs to a minidv camcorder

                                            Try it out. Find out if you can stream to multiple site at once, some capture card will allow that, some won't.
