Do you need to keep it private ? Or public is fine ?
And it'll be video right ?

What about ustream.tv / justin.tv ?

Sorry NKore Didn't notice it

You can try the above sites. I lifecast too

 

[NucleusKore]

Thanks, next time I'll try those. Wanted to broadcast the graduation day live. Will have to wait for a year now

Aww...

I remember I had broadcast an event in college
Try them out... they're really good.

Ustream is good for events... Justin.tv is good for selfcasting.

I wanted to know........My college has a bandwidth based plan, how much in terms of bandwidth would it work out per hour (MB/hr)? As it is a BSNL plan, its ADSL. The upstream bandwidth is restricted to 128kpbs or 256 kpbs, I am not sure. Is that sufficient for streaming?

 

[preshit.net]

Well, I'd never worried about how much it uses since the college was paying

But yea, 128kbps is just about fine... 256kbps is preffered. 128 may have some dropped frames.

 

[NucleusKore]

Let me put it this way. Upload rate is 128 kilobits/sec, so can we calculate the maximum bandwidth that would be consumed in an hour, assuming a constant data flow rate? Since the above is equal to 16 Kilobytes/sec, can we assume the bandwidth consumption is 16x60x60=57600 kilobytes/hour or 56.25 MB/hour?

 

[preshit.net]

Yes, if we consider a constant rate. But the rate would depend on the content being broadcasted. Something outdoors ( bright ) will consume more bandwidth then something indoors..

 

[NucleusKore]

Yes, but can it exceed my calculation? Remember the upstream bandwidth is restricted or capped!

 

[preshit.net]

Don't think so. I generally use about 40MB / hour or so.

Ok, thanks I asked because before I do any such thing I'll have to budget
