I've been thinking of doing a session on these sorts of tools with the rise of video content. You’ve definitely intoned me to give this a try out after I retool the studio this weekend.

One thing I don't like about boinx tv is that there is not FME 3.0 support (flash media encoder) which gives you 30 FPS. Wirecast also uses a tool called Desktop Presenter which uses the local IP of the machine that has skype or web cams and bring them into the interface of the iMac. I've also used Vidblaster and other solutions and found Wirecast being the best video switching software out there. The bigger the machine the more Wirecast can take. Works great as well on my 8 core Mac Pro. Email me if you have any questions or want further information.

What sort of machine do you have it running on? I use BoinxTV, which I've talked about greatly on my blog. It appears to have similar features for a similar price as your Wirecast. I actually got my copy (the $199 ad-at-the-end version that doesn't even do that the way I use it in post editing). in the $40 MacHeist last year. I have a little snippet of my setup from when I integrated a new firewire splitter recently. http://sorgatronmedia.com/blog/?p=1843 I will certainly be comparing options. How do you handle the video streams coming in? They look good as well. My guests don't always invest in great webcams. Judging by your stream on the site, it looks great, that’s for sure.

It essentially does what a tri-caster does at a fraction of the cost. Im able to do the same production without Skype beta as twit does I even have a video on skypeasaurus. How to achieve it virtually. I use wirecast from telestream. It essentially does what a tri-caster does at a fraction of the cost.
