What programs to stream?

[Nick]

I want to stream my games but I don't know what programs I'll need. Can anyone let me know?

PC or console? It's fairly simple to stream PC games. Just need the FME (Flash Media Encoder) and VH Screen Capture.

Definitely have someone like Dat, Sedington or Assassin around to help you through it at first. VH can be tricky and frustrating.

Pretty straight forward now. I can't seem to get VH Screen Capture to work fullscreen though. Yeah, streaming from the PC is really easy, I can even hook you up with a simple batch file I made to make it even easier on me.

Here's a pretty good tutorial on it:

Though I would recommend flash encoder 3. He says its slower, but I tried both and found 3 to be better ( maybe they've updated it since he wrote that? )

Also, you don't have to go through all that batch file stuff if you don't want. You can simply open Flash Media Live Encoder and do it all from there each time. The batch file just makes it quicker.
