    VidBlaster's Mike Versteeg is at it again!

    Mike Versteeg, the creator of VidBlaster, is doing it again! He's opened the door in the VidBlaster forum for suggestions from users on the next feature for VidBlaster. Read more here.

    Last time he did this, VidBlaster got a new VVD (virtual video device/camera). In less than two weeks he went from "Give me your suggestions" to "Here's a beta release, tell me what you think." Pretty awesome!

    Now me, I'm pulling for slow motion replay for sports. Currently VidBlaster offers a 30-second, rolling, full motion replay which is very cool (considering the cost of other replay "systems" starts at about $10K US). But, I'm holding out for slo-mo!

    Hey Tom,

    Im hoping for more HD Optimization, Even with a i7 2600 I am experiencing really high CPU.

    I agree. The only reason I do not use Vidblaster anymore is because it uses a high amount of CPU. If this issue gets fixed I will happily use Vidblaster once again.

    Mike Versteeg announced today that he will be developing Slo-Mo Instant Replay for VidBlaster. For the folks in the sports broadcasting field, this is a game changer! Follow the progress of this new feature at www.forum.vidblaster.com.

    (IMHO) If he can do that, than he is worse than I thought as far as a business man. I wonder how many people jumped ship (to Wirecast) because there was no Slow motion, or no 'new VVD' ??? I think I read that a few jumped ship because of CPU load. What do you guys think is more important for him (as a business man) to work on? :-)

    Slow Motion and VVD are important, but I agree with Andrew. It is a resource hog and I think several people don't try it because they can't get it to work with their systems. So in some ways he may lose customers to those features not existing, but in other ways he is losing new customers because they can run Wirecast on a lesser machine.

    I mentioned these two features because I was under the impression that WC did not have them either :-)

    As the cost ratio of PC hardware (cost vs. power) continues to drop,
    VidBlaster's CPU use will become less and less of an issue. I'm not
    suggesting we wouldn't want it to become more efficient in its use of
    resources, but that CPUs will catch up, and folks will inevitably
    upgrade their systems as more powerful and less expensive options emerge.

    And... Slo-mo Instant Replay will bring a flood of new users into the
    marketplace, from small colleges and semi-pro sports teams to local high
    schools & sports clubs. Its not that these new users were on the
    fence asking themselves: "Should I chose Wirecast or VidBlaster?" No,
    this will be a whole new class of users that will be drawn into the live
    streaming software market and choose VidBlaster because of this
    feature. Plus, compared what it costs today to purchase a live slo-mo
    instant replay system, VidBlaster will be clearly more cost effective.

    This is a game changer, folks.
