"You can use camsplit program, but there are also others like that."
----------------------------------------
My question:
I have Windows98 SE, 512 MB Ram, 1,2 GHz, ... I tried "camsplitter" , "splitcam" and "softcam" but no one of this programs works right. And when they work my picture is so slow in comparison with the "original" picture.
Are there OTHER cam splitting programs or do I have to change mayby the
Operating System in Windows XP ?
Someone can help me ?
Thanks a lot,

Manu, welcome to the forum!
Yes, you'll have to upgrade to XP, or at least Win2K to get that kind of functions.

Yes I'm afraid so -- Win98 is not a supported operating system by MS any more.
Therefore lots of things may not work as you expect in terms of compatibility with other software.

I think the low performance in cam spliting have relation with slow PC.
I recommend migrate to win XP, win 98 every day lost more and more support, even thougth win XP eat more resources also offer best performance. |

Cam splitting does this, If you have 2 places you are sending your stream, this cuts your stream speed in HALF....
Because you are connecting to 2 different servers. so need 2 connections.
Cam splitting is exactly what they say, SPLITTING takes your picture and splits the feed, this takes twice as much bandwidth, and twice as much resources I think.
So you will see a degradation in the streams, your customers will see it even MORE.
I don't suggest you use split cam software, but most people dont listen and do it anyway.
Oh well ..
and yes XP if i remember correctly uses 512meg of RAM just to run. so to run a nice Cam feed youll want, like 1gig RAM. I could be wrong. but more RAM will help everything about your PC either way. |

I dont see any performance or quality degradation using camsplitter.
The only noticiable thing its de cpu load increased But an ahtlon XP 2600+ can handle very good, task manger show about 30% of cpu load.
Maybe video card its helping too, radeon 9550 performs goog and its affordable, integrated video cards penalty performance for this tasks

1 gig of ram may be good for people working 4 or more sites at the same time but not every machine can handle, if you have machine that can handle 4 or more streams optimally (athlon64 3000+ or pentium 4 3ghz ) securely you have 1gb of ram in dual channel.
But for 2 streams i found 512mb enough task manager show tranasaction load never exceed 521mb. |
