Ok, I’m getting married on the 1st of November and I want to stream live video to my grand parents in law via the web as well as a few friends in America and Australia. My farther in law has just done a test with his video camera with a live steam @ around 100Kb/sec and although it worked the image was very pixilated in order to run live.
Is it possible to record/encode a MP3/4/AVI/??? Signal at the church, send via mobile broadband and decode at the other end in more detail than the current live stream?
I appreciate there will be a lag with this system, but that’s no real problem.
Is there a website that can do this? And if so how much will it cost? I would ideally like to do it for free as wedding are a tad expensive.
Oh, I don’t mind paying for an encoder as I could do with one anyway.
I know by the time I am replying to this post Ashley and Tamsin would be Happily married - congratulations
www.iWedlive.com is a website dedicated just to that: live stream wedding on internet to everyone, also you can upload wedding video and photos on the site, invite others and share it. And its FREE subject to fair use.
Hope this piece of information would be useful for others that are reading this forum.
A friend of mine used a company called "Wedcasting Live TV" based out of Chicagoland. Apparently they also handle worldwide clients so anything from Chicago to Florida to New Zealand, etc. They can provide the hardware or guide you to hardware renting/purchase and also handle the backend streaming and frontend production.
They were recently featured in the WEVA August guide as offering the same technology that is used by CNN, Fox, NBC and Univision. Worth a look..
