Hi,

I am new to internet broadcasting but want to use VidBlaster to broadcast my debate show on the Internet. The way it will work is that I will have remote attendees every week debating about different issues with me as the host and producer.

So... my first questions is how do i bring in these remote feeds into my vidblaster pro? I was told to use Skype but how do i take that video feed it into Vidblaster. Also i need to ensure the attendees are able to hear/see each other.

Secondly, how do i overlay audio files so that i dont have to transition to the audio image but can instead play it over video feed or player?

Thanks for the help

I dont think feeds from remote cameras not directly hooked to your computer is possible with this software.

You mention skype but skype doesnt even offer any type of multiple video conferencing (atleast not yet).

Anyone else?

If you google I am sure you will find several companies that offer video conferencing, in fact I used one much like skype (and free) but the names they make up these days are so weird that it completely slipped my mind. Basically it's like having multiple skype video windows, and you can capture each video window to a Camera module using the screen capture option. Take audio out from your PC, route it to a mixer (see help), route the mixer's output back to audio in on the PC, and you can record/stream both audio and video from all participants.

Found it, it's called Oovoo (http://www.oovoo.com/) and still seems to be free.
