Correct. Yes. Here's a text I wrote earlier before I realised I was
bogging it, that parallels some of your comments.
I'm thinking (and you may need to correct me!):
1/ best-possible stably-held video-camera on mains power recording to a sequence of digital tapes,
2/ maybe second (roaming?) cam for redundancy, then
3/ direct audio desk hook-in to the stationary cam if possible, then
4/ stream recording from the stationary cam to a laptop's hdd if possible, then
5/ live torrent streaming from the pc out (out how!? cellular modem? costly? fragile?) via a preset website address if possible.
(Each stage's outcome being decoupled from the downstream stages, so upstream stage outcomes aren't destroyed by downstream system failures/degradatio n.)
If we can set up a torrent/download can it be hooked to a paypal donation for the Victorian Bushfire appeal?
Who has these skills in an I-do-this-for- my-work kind of way? Who has the gear? The time?
either way you still need bandwidth. how are we going to get connectivity out of the venue? the only reliable method would be to connect to their network. technically a piece of cake. likelihood they'd let us - zilch.
in addition it works well with a big swarm. if we have a small swarm with people all over the world i suspect the latency will kill it.Miron
and overall - this is cutting edge. taping shows we know how to do. i might be biased here since i am going to the show but i would prefer a high quality product I can keep on using over a mediocre one which is gone once the last song is played
How could people get so unkind?

What about a torrent stream? I read a tech note on that via a google and it looked doable bandwidth wise in that you disperse the bandwidth commitment.1. online stream/webcast seems to be the most challenging. we will need the equipment to capture the a/v, encode the stream, the servers to host the streaming software and the bandwidth. i dont see it happening.
Re: JJJ - can anyone put their hand up to call Aunty and ask? Someone with a connection or some managerial confidence to push past the fob-off stage?
