Streaming from a Console?

[MrMoose]

I saw in someones channel they were playing Mario Kart on the Wii from their camera, but It didnt look like a camera pointing at the TV, it was like it was Directly from it.

Just wondering what program they used, I would like to be able to do the same

Well.. If you have a DV-input on your PC, you could use that as source. Then, if you have a DV in/out-camera, turn the camera in Play mode and plug in the RGB to a in/out-scart, you may be able to stream it.

A bad explanation, but this is how I do it with my Canon-camera.

It was probably me you saw streaming. Here's what I have:

I'd reccomend any of the cards you see here, it just depends on what available slots are on your computer, or if you'd rather have a USB one. Just make sure it has a composite(yellow cable)/S-Video input. I have my system hooked up to it, and I plug in the audio inputs(the red and white cords) into the Line-In port of my sound card, by using one of these:

You can find something like it for really cheap at Radio Shack.

Then on your Volume Properties, you set the Record tab to Line-In. Alternatively, if you have an external microphone(or a webcam with a built-in mic like myself), you can set the recording source to that, so you can provide commentary while you play.

You can use the camera features in Mogulus' studio, but I'd rather use the Flash Media Encoder, since it provides much better quality video. Once you have all the items you need, just follow the FAQ on how to set that up: http://www.mogulus.com/userguide/ind..._On2_Flix_Live

Now this part's completely optional, but I'd reccomend it. If you want to actually play the game on your TV, while at the same time having the video feed go to the capture card, get one of these:

Again, you can find one for cheap at Radio Shack. Plug the male end to your TV/switcher/whatever you have, plug the game console into one of the female ends, and run a composite(yellow) video cord with two male ends going from the other female port to the input on the video card. It will make the games much easier to play.

I also Hauppauge for streaming with xbox but im starting streaming with the wii. You can also use the Dazzle. And just use FME (flash media encoder) and you're good. pretty easy

Well,now I want to know if this is enough what I need to stream?

Also I did read that I need windows media (flash) encoder?

Also if I will be fine with streaming,I will maybe go pro,thanks for your help guys and thanks to mogulus to make streaming possible.

I've heard nothing but bad things about Dazzle products. The best bet is to go with a Haupaugge card. They're inexpensive and fairly easy to use, once you've figured it out.

Flash Media Encoder would be a better option to stream games rather than selecting the device from the Mogulus studio itself, you get a better quality stream out of it.

[DigitalHypnosis]

I would like to ask if anyone could recommend a setup to stream console games on Livestream?

I haven't gotten much help on this subject elsewhere, and I've already wasted some money through reckless trial and error.

My budget is $300, and although Component hookups are a plus, they are strictly optional.

Many thanks.

If you're not worried about the image quality you can purchase a cheap USB capture card on eBay.
You connect that from your TV to your computer and it will pull whatever is on the TV screen.

No need for $300. Here's one for $20:

Anyone know how i can stream playstation 3 games? Do i need to buy certain equipment? Any help would be great, thanks!

[TheCatfish]

You'd need a video capture device and compatible software (that usually comes along with it). There are all types; USB, VGA and PCI. Always check their settings before you buy though, I've been stung by a USB capture device that didn't record PAL 60 among other things without issues (either Colour but no sound, or Sound but B&W)
