Last night I attended my [OC WordPress](http://www.ocwp.org/?ref=jasontucker.blog) meeting at [Zeek Interactive](http://www.zeek.com/?ref=jasontucker.blog) in Huntington Beach. I hitched a ride with my friend [Cindy Ronzoni](http://www.cindyronzoni.com/?ref=jasontucker.blog), and talked it up doing our drive out from Whittier. Cindy is a treat to talk to, she’s a PR person that doesn’t mind me getting a bit geeky from time to time. She’s a curling fan, love TV and Movies and has a knack for talking to people. She knows her craft well which is something I admire and has worked with the most interesting clients. If you ever need a PR person give Cindy a ring, and tell her I set ya. </cheerleading>

Once we arrived at OCWP I had to setup my live stream setup. Last night I was debating on trying to get Camtwist setup but I ran out of time so I wasn’t about to record locally AND stream out to uStream. The video below is the downloaded .flv file that uStream.tv provides me. It’s a same that it looks kinda crappy due to the awful compression that occurs but I hope next meeting I can get Camtwist or some other solution to share the camera between apps. I’d imagine my [i7 processor on my MacBook Pro](https://jasontucker.blog/2829/things-i-like-macbook-pro-15-inch "Things I like: MacBook Pro 15 inch") with its multi cores can handle doing those 2 tasks at once. If you have any suggestions about this setup I’m crafting I’d love to hear them.

**Current components:**

- [MacBook Pro](https://jasontucker.blog/2829/things-i-like-macbook-pro-15-inch "Things I like: MacBook Pro 15 inch")
- [Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M2YT96/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=jasotuck07-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003M2YT96&ref=jasontucker.blog)![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jasotuck07-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B003M2YT96)  
I use this to record the video on a tripod, lately I’ve been using the onboard mic with much success.
- [Soundmatters foxLv2 Bluetooth Loudspeaker System (Black)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00313JD06/ref=as%5Fli%5Fss%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=jasotuck07-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00313JD06&ref=jasontucker.blog)![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jasotuck07-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00313JD06)  
I’ve tried using this paired to my macbook pro as a sound input. It works but picks up the echo quite a bit from the vaulted ceilings in the room we meetup in. Aside from using this as a bluetooth mic it’s AWESOME as a speaker, the little guy bumps.
- [uStream.TV](http://www.ustream.tv/?ref=jasontucker.blog)  
website in safari using their built in flash object to do the streaming.
- [CamTwist](http://camtwiststudio.com/?ref=jasontucker.blog)  
free software for doing all sorts of ninja like moves. They say it works with ustream and as a flash

**Things I know I’m doing wrong:**

- Not having a paid starter account with uStream is limiting me to only doing SD content. It’s $99 a month for this but I dont see it being all that worth it if I can record the source video locally.
- Downloading the streamed and recorded video from ustream, and uploading it to youtube. This file is of crap quality video with lackluster audio.

**How am I going to fix it?**

- It really all boils down to the fact that I’m not recording locally. I want to end up splitting the output of my video feed to both ustream and a local video recording software.
- I plan on working on this workflow before the next meeting and see about just using ustream as a streaming service and then taking my locally recorded file and uploading it to youtube in it’s 1080 native state.
