I just tried your demo, on a high speed DSL line and the video and audio were chopping up like crazy.

Yeah looked like dogshit here as well

[venus]

dont fool yourself with the higfh speed DSL, its a shared line. several DSL companies are being sued for chopping the bandwidth they promised customers.

its smooth on my cable modem or I would have it up.

is this something new I don't know about?

How do the fish chat back??

I have a T1 line and its choppy, the fish move backwards in time.. I suggest you spam somewhere else

pipecrew - like you have a reason to even look at it except run you lame mouth.

[Alky]

thats pretty expensive regardless...

[SquarePants]

They moved okay on our T-1.

But I agree those seem pretty steep for pricing. What kind of larger rates do you have?? We are looking at the Web Cam angle very heavily.

i mean when you can buy a license for software to have up to 10 cams and 100 connections for 1500... you do the math.

[venus]

the software is expensive, any live video is expensive to do, thats why you dont see many people doing it unless they are using pirated software then it takes a bunch of people to go in together to pay the bandwidth. Bandwidth for streaming video is rather high because of the nature of what your doing.


I have been doing streaming video since 1997, its not like back then when we would have typically 100-150 people at a time watching a cam, now its only a few people. even sites that have 3000-5000 members your not going to have as many people as you think on at any given time.

[venus]

what software or site can you get 10 cams and 100 connections for 1500 a month?

[SquarePants]

We have a price for a custom written app from a local programmer. Our clients problem is loading the feeds with the girls, which may not be an issue in a week or 2.

Thats emulive... duh....


The software with the crappiest support in the history of crappy support.

We used it when we first started out. Unless it was to send a cheque, our email would always go unanswered.

And when we would complain about features that didnt work right, they would take them out in the next version instead of fixing them...

Yeah Emulive!

thats 10 cams thing is actually kinda expenseive. I would give you 10 cams and a 100 connections for 1000 a month

actually his support long time ago used ot be execellant untill some idiot posted a crak to his server and every lame ass started stealing his stuff.
we have used it since 1998, before that used ultralive and we have tested real server and media server.

the later 2 work great if your customers can get it to work for them and they are on a fast connection. So even tho media server is free we dont use it because your cutting out half your customer base plus there is no security.

the new emulive stuff right now, is the best on the market for the masses. it works for all connections and all browsers. people may disagree with that but there is a reason why of us have been around along time and others who try cheaper methods shut down.

you still didnt say what software it was or the place you got your info.

Shared DSL? No, I'm on a dedicated line dude at 1.2 mb/s bandwidth speed.

I've got a ton of streams in the members area and they look smooth as silk.

I wasn't being critical. Just letting you know your video stream was chopping as was the audio. If you want to promote your services, don't you want to sell something that looks and works perfect? GFY folks are pretty picky when it comes to functionality.

That may or may not be the case, we will not give any more money to Emulive to find out.

We built our own custom software, it was expensive, it was a pain in the ass, but now we have complete control over our stuff.


p.s.: On a side (spammy) note. We are still open to add a couple more studios to our system. No "girls at home". just professional studios. Including Male models. If you have an all-asian stuido, that would be even more interesting for us.

[venus]

LOL ...ok alky ...you and your mystery software ...

[venus]

KRL
so your on a point to point HDSL?
you pay circuit and bandwidth fees?

if your not paying for the curcuit then your not on a dedicated DS1

if your on DSL from your local phone company and you dont have a router for a DS1 and your using a DSL modem your on a shared connection.

there is a big difference in recoreded video clips and live video. you can optimize a recorded video clip but you cant do that with live stuff.

[<IMX>]

Interesting. So what is the best out of the box live cam software?

[Kiko_Wu]

Since the chat window doesn't work on a Mac why not just use Windows Media? PCs all have it anyway. There's no point in using Java if it's not cross platform.

[DrGuile]

Kiko_wu,

direct fiber link here LOL (we're guinea pigs on a new connectivity system being beta tested in Florida). I should go and take a pic of the monster COB setup they have outside. Its fucking insane looking equipment.

and have a dedicated microwave p2p wireless system on the roof of our office building in Ft. Lauderdale.
