I really liked when there were live audio feeds (shout/ice cast IIRC) of the meeting. I am not sure that we would be able to reliable stream live video, unless we connect with the library LAN. Maybe have a CVS disposable camcorder stream live video? I remember hearing something about a DVD video with BKelsay and others, but I wasn't there nor have I seen the video so.

As far as live video, I have been having good results lately with iChat (and also Skype and Yahoo IM), now that I have a 'Book with a camera built in.

But those are all proprietary, and thankfully at least RMS would not comply with such expectations. What's wrong with ffmpeg?
http://www.videolan.org/ - Works well, works with all platforms, and can stream and store a video feed simultaneously. I'd use this if a relatively small, home-brew setup is going to be used. I'm on the KS side, and I work with the Kan-ed and Internet2 folks on a frequent basis. These guys are always looking for something, anything, to throw on their dedicated video networks. If you approach this through Kan-ed channels, you may be able to get several of the reagents institutions to go in on a state-wide (or larger) RMS video conference. Keep in mind Kan-ed is a state-wide multicast network that can easily stream live HD-quality video to 200+ locations. Give them a look at www.kan-ed.org and consider it. ~Bradley Don Ellis wrote:
