At the GFQ Network we record and broadcast our show at 864x480.
854 x 480
864 x 480 is 10 pixels too wide to be 16:9. The horizontal value for 480P 16:9 is 853.3333333333334
384x288 now that I have to use VVD and FMLE since Vidblaster won't stream internally any more.
On a quad core Intel I was doing 640x480 up till last Friday, with CPU usage of 70%. Using Vidblaster and FMLE (VVD) if I go to 640x480, cpu goes to 100%. Besides, our show is more about the talk, not the look. We are too ugly to show real clear features :-)

What Version of Vidblaster are you using.
1.36 for my show, 2.18 for the other shows. Purely because of number of modules needed.
Have you tried reinstalling vidblaster. I have had this happen in the past.
I am sorry you've been a victim of Mike's misselling. One day he might give the modules back, but for now they are locked away in Mike's cupboard.Quote:

OH !!! for those of you using FMLE, seems that if you drag the FMLE window to another monitor (multi monitor setup) while it is streaming, it looses its connectivity and it will restart the stream. Bambuser never lost the connection though (there was still only one file at the end of the show), but there was a problem at the point of that happening that did not allow my MP3 converter to read past that point. Had to convert the flv file to WMA (which rewrote it) and then get the MP3 out of the WMA. Took a few hours of trial and error to accomplish that :-)
Life goes on Joe :-)
If I'm using a service with a predefined player size I target the player size to minimize scaling.
If I'm sending to multiple services, I can setup separate frame sizes for each service.
I'll also record at my Wirecast canvas size for higher resolution recording.
For example if my Canvas is 1280x720 I'll record locally at that size and then set up my encoders to target the different frame sizes of the different services I'm streaming to. On the Mac side I'll record using Apple Intermediate Codec or Apple ProResLT. On the Windows side it might range from M or PJPEG or a high quality H.264 m4v (mp4).
My hope is to start doing 720p by the end of the summer. There are many things that need to change for us at GFQ before we start going to "HD"
I record to 640x360. I think the majority of people don't see the difference between a good sd recording and a hd recording. I am however thinking of moving to hd in the future.
It sucks that my computer is slwo. I can only do 320 right now. Do yuo there there is a difference between 360p and 720p ?
