Friday webcasts (CU-SLU, HU-DC)

Since I'll be joining in the middle of the first period, I thought I'd start a thread now for sorting out the webcasts of tonight's games.

The SLU feed is supposed to be http://web.stlawu.edu/sports/radio_broadcast.html or directly: http://web.stlawu.edu/sports/slu.mov

It looks like Dartmouth is supposed to have video at http://www.dartmouth.edu/%7Emhockey/webcast/index.html or directly: http://quicktime.dartmouth.edu/hockey_stream.mov

Dartmouth's schedule page lists women's squeakball and women's hockey on their audio feeds.

Direct links to Harvard feeds from http://www.whrb.org/ : http://www.live365.com/play/whrb or http://www.live365.com/play/whrb2

for the slu game web cast- is it only live or is it going to be archived someplace so i can watch it when i get home at 1 am?

uh, keep dreaming :-) - SLU is not doing video

Does anyone have a connection fast enough for the Darmouth video?

Mine is streaming at 1.5 Mbps (pretty much maxing out my connection), and has the "quality" listed as 35 to 40%

I know my DSL isn't blazing like some cable can be, but its still more than 4 times fast enough to support XMI. What kind of crazy bandwidth is that stream using??

You're getting *anything* of the Dartmouth-Harvard game?

DeltaOne81 · February 25, 2005, 07:11:13 PM

Yup, I'm getting .5 to 1.5 frames/sec - only after opening it directly in QT Player though. In the browser it wasn't even that.

Just closed it though, wasn't worth it.

Video is a little choppy, but good enough for me.

DeltaOne81 · February 25, 2005, 07:23:01 PM

Rich,

Just for my curiosity, how fast is it streaming for you?

Go to "Show Movie Info" and it'll show the Bit Rate and Quality.

I'm getting 12% quality and 400 kbits/sec using a cable modem...very choppy

I'm getting service unavailabe on the SLU feed. Settings are good. Too many connections maybe?

I'm wondering if anyone out there has a 4, 5, 6 megabit connection, and if even they can get full quality?

Well, good, "low tech" way to assure that only on campus people can take advantage of the stream.

Bit Rate: ~2400 kb/s

Cable modem.

Edit: now up to ~75% Quality, but it's intermission.
