Well Jeff, I wasn't wrong about my connection, but
I WAS wrong about everything else. I just tested my connection and got 1.9 mbps,
which is about what I expected. Then I checked my Flash Media Encoder settings -
I have it at 500 kbps for video and 192 stereo for audio, so I should be able to
broadcast that with Andy's .7 mbps connection.
I suppose that meas the occasional problems I had
in the past were not due, as I thought, to lack of upload speed. It seems I was
blaming my ISP, when I should have been blaming either Ustream, or my own
incompetance.
Thanks for putting me right, Jeff.
And Andy, ignore all I said before and get
Ustreaming!
Steve

Andy, Steve, we must be thinking in different units here. I
would give a lot for a 1.6 mbps! That's blazing upstream speed!
I
broadcast often with a 10 mbps down and a .860 mbps upstream connection. The
upstream is the important one here.
For broadcast I use the Flash Media
Encoder for good control over quality. Video is 300 kbps, audio is 192 kbps
stereo. So total upload used is under .500 mbps which leaves me some headroom
to bring in a Ninjam session if I want (using a public server) which might add
another 100 kpbs up so still safe.
So have we got our megs and kilos
mixed up or what here? :). .7 mbps is 700 kbps, plenty o' speed for the upside
of your connection. I am surprised that your down is the same, usually it's
much faster down than up.
my .02 units worth,
J

Andy, I'm afraid .7 mbps upload speed is a bit slow for
Ustream. You really nead at least around 1.6 upload, ideally a bit faster.
Download speed is less important.
So, I'm sorry to say, while you're
at the British Forum for Ethnomusicology, it looks like Ustream will be
difficult for you.
