Question

Stream with one bitrate, record another

Hi, this may be really dumb question, but I haven't figured it out. Is it possible to stream to ustream with lets say 300 bitrate and record 1000 bitrate video to computer? And if yes, then how? Thanks!

Peace,

Kuldar

    Yes, by publishing only a single stream of say 300kbps you can't really obtain a 1000kbps getting recorded/saved on the disk.


    As Jay says, using FMLE you can publish 2 bit-rate streams that is 300kbps as well as 1000kbps so you have both of them saved onto your computer. But am not sure that is what you are trying to accomplish.

    Thanks! I don't mind recording both of them if my computer is powerful enough, but I guess I'm able to then choose which bitrate stream I send to ustream and just ignore the other?

    I don't think you could select only one stream to be sent to ustream out of the two which the FMLE is publishing. i believe both would end up reaching ustream.

    If you need specific help on FMLE to figure out what works best for your usecase, you could visit the forums at http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/flash_media_live_encoder

    If you're using FMLE as the publishing client, you might be able to record a higher bitrate video locally, but I suspect that would require having FMLE publish both streams to ustream (I'm not positive... but I don't think you can selectively record op publish configured streams in FMLE)
