C of C meetings will be live online (hopefully) | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | OP Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | just to give everyone a heads up, if all goes well, I will have live streaming video of the public meetings, and whatever else I can manage. this is all contingent on a solid internet connection, I have tested this here at home on my wireless and it does work, not flawlessly, but acceptable. also depends on my laptop and other equipment working correctly. I have been experimenting with this for the past couple of months and having added more ram to my laptop, scavenged a broken camcorder that does what I need, and testing various video to USB converters, I finally got something that seemed to work today. I could do this with a standard webcam, but a camcorder provides a much better picture and sound, and can be mounted on a tripod so it can be swiveled around and zoom in and out.
I'm really hopeful this all works! when the time comes, there will be a post as to how you can view it, and if you are logged into the forums you can chat at the same time. 90 Astro - "The Grey Ghost" - Haulin Ass, Not kids.E-Z Vanners and West Vanners Council of Councils Board Member National Truck-in Board Support Team "No matter where you go, there you are."

a more powerful laptop would help, I had to add more memory to mine, and it still struggles, but at least it actually worked tonight when I tested it, was able to get everything running at the same time and maintain a broadcast. 90 Astro - "The Grey Ghost" - Haulin Ass, Not kids.E-Z Vanners and West Vanners Council of Councils Board Member National Truck-in Board Support Team "No matter where you go, there you are."

I'll be tuning in from home as well. | | | Re: C of C meetings will be live online (hopefully) | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | OP Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 3,750 Likes: 13 | I was having a very difficult time getting the camcorder I am using to work, luckily the A/V-USB converter I just got solved the problem 90 Astro - "The Grey Ghost" - Haulin Ass, Not kids.E-Z Vanners and West Vanners Council of Councils Board Member National Truck-in Board Support Team "No matter where you go, there you are."

I'll keep my eyes open for your instructions. I've always wondered what all went on at a CofC. I'd be thrilled to have the opportunity to observe the meeting.
Thanks!
