Although still void of any real content, and a lot more investigation of the theme’s option are needed, I’ve just put a new web site. Is it about 3D TV? No (though a friend is helping with one, so when it is live I’ll try to remember to publish a link).
This new site is an area for me to embed any live streams we create. Whether it be Qik (the system I use for live video feeds from my phone), wCapture (a VERY old webcam broadcasting program which displays on almost all browsers and devices) or WebcamXP (another feature-rich webcam stream program I occasionally use), they will all be available at Merriman Live.
It looks as though the Qik code to display any live streams reverts to the latest archived one if no live feed exists. On a side note, I also discovered that I CAN use higher resolutions that 320×240 for Qik, however they need to be recorded first. As 99.9% of the videos viewed (especially by friends and family) are done so through this blog, and not in real time, this shouldn’t be a problem.

Found Some Useful Camcorder/Webcam Software
Bit of a niche product, but as I was transferring some video from my DV camcorder (a Panasonic NV-GS55 kindly given to us by in-laws), I found a program that can take any standard video input on your PC (webcam, DV cameras via firewire & TV cards etc.) and split it between different programs/instances of programs.
Uses?
If you have a broadband connection (and I mean a proper BROADband connection, not the 128Kbit they call broad over here), you could hold multiple video calls. Normally, the first person you setup a video call with will be the only person who can view your webcam.
If that doesn’t make any sense, don’t worry, you don’t need the software ;>
Anyway, the link ..
SplitCam – Freeware Video Clone Software
I’ve not yet tried it out, but will post back with my findings in a few days hopefully – need to get back to work now…
[edit]
OK, the program isn’t working for me yet, so I’ve submitted a support request at their forum. Fingers crossed it’ll be sorted soon.
