EDIT : then it s game streaming or i dont know there is an option in the game wolfenstein enemy territory to make shoutcaster the all player who connect to a shoutcast server (they connect to this server like in the game) and they can see evrything in the match they can change the view of players or be a free spectator i do know if you know ETTV or HLTV but its that but HLTV seems to be just for Counter strike and i don t know how work ETTV that s my question

then i hope i answer to your question now

The easiest way I can think of would involve two pcs. One would be in the game in spectator mode, with a video card that supports video out. The next pc would have a video capture card, and be connected to the other pc's video out. The one with the capture card would then capture the video in NSVCAP and send it to a shoutcast server.

no there is another way but witch i don t know

the other way uses almost all your processor so the video would be really slow for games, even with the best and most powerful machines, it'd be slow.

And this would be using Camtasia to record the screen and Emulate a webcam.

no when there is ETTV there is 150 slot open to see the match and the image is not slow but i m sure there is a way cause in the game you can allow shoutcaster ! and the admin (of ETTV) say me to comme here to how to do..

Well what is ETTV?

[Inedible Bulk]

there was once a good games show which had no lag and it was not ETTV, i forgot what it was called tho. Gamessomething.


Anyway jicao, how about the idea that you're denying what the admin of ETTV does? He probably does what ken said first, here

Number or ways to go about doing it.
What is 10 Mo Bandwidth?

Thats the first concern, This takes alot of bandwidth.

I attempted a number of methods

2-3 computers works best, one as your capture machine and one as the gaming machine.
Depending on the gaming machine setup you may or maynot have Tv out.

If you have tv out i would suggest running dualview sending the output to the capture box with a tv card or something.

The other method would be to use a screen capture program like camtasia or something, but that would require the nsv cap be located on the gaming machine as well.

The best method i found using one pc (+server) was to loop the Tv out to the Tv in can send it out with nsvcap. Camtasia killed framerates.
It worked fairly well actually, i dumbed down the resolution for better fps, i mean your not going to stream a 1024x768 feed :P

As long as the game box isnt doing everything it can work really well.
