Wirecast 4.3 is out

[Donovan]

I'll post this over in the wirecast forums later, but a problem I'm having with 4.3 is that my sound devices are mislabeled. What is labeled as my Line In is actually one of the mics on one of the webcams. I didn't discover this until about 30 minutes before a show, so I was hustling to try and figure it out. I kept cycling through the sound devices (this is on Windows) until I found the right one, which was definitely not what the label said.

I also had the recording error out three times during a show until I switched from recording in WMV to QuickTime. Never had that problem before. There was an error code, but considering I was doing a live show, I really didn't have time to make note of it. The actual live stream kept going without a problem.

Not sure how much help it would be, but here is the Activity Monitor Log.

robistech, I'm getting can't find page with your link.

Do you have either Preview or Camera Preview open? Those are the only things that I know of in previous versions of Wirecast that might have some impact on the interface.

Yes Cam preview is on.

Seems the forum is doing something to the link. Dropbox still reports 404 can't find requested link.

Camera Preview might be the cause. Try turning that off and see how it performs.
If it's the issue it's something I should let the Telestream support folks know about.
There's a frame rate control in Camera Preview as well. Another thing to try is dropping its frame rate to the lowest level of 1fps and see if that has an impact.

Sorry, Camera preview is off, I just have the regular PREVIEW window open in the main switcher. Sorry for the confusion, first thing I tried was turning cam preview off, and it is still off.

I'll give it one more shot with a bit.ly

That worked. Not obvious to me what would be the cause though from looking at it.
Given you're experiencing this with versions previous to 4.3 it would likely be something specific to your system (or few systems) since is not something that's been reported. I've seen Camera Preview and Preview result in performance hits but only on very underpowered machines (think old Core2Duo).
