Standard Ustream quality we've come to know and love tolerate:


USTREAM:
  • Below LQ bitrate
  • Extremely choppy framerate
  • At best pulling 10-20 fps
  • Full screen advertisements with 47 second wait timers
  • Popup advertising every few minutes
  • Sound often completely desynched from video



Stream quality we should be loving:


VEETLE:
  • HQ/HD streams
  • Solid 60 fps
  • No advertisements or waiting
  • Sound doesnt desynch
  • ITS NOT A PROGRAM ITS BROWSER BASED JUST LIKE USTREAM





Pros / Cons


Ustream:
Pros:
  • You already have an account. (doesn't matter, if you are super lazy you don't even have to make one in veetle)
  • Can have 1 stream that shows a few other streams inside it (unsure if you can do that in veetle haven't tried)
  • Randoms more likely to stop through, though probably not likely to stay Tongue speedrunning is a niche activity with a hardcore gamer fanbase.
Cons:
  • Hard to tell whats going on when watching anything in super choppy, non-constant 20 fps at best.
  • Useless to use streams to show people things in-game because they can barely make out the details of what you are doing between the halfsecond freeze-frame stuttering video
  • Shittiest quality imaginable, constant ad harrassment and waiting

Veetle:
Pros:
  • Your fanbase is generally hardcore and loves speedruns so they will put forth the miniscule amount of effort necessary provided its needed in order to view the stream.
  • The 15 seconds it takes for them to install the plugin would normally be spent watching a 47 second advertisement in ustream
  • No constantly having to click to close ads or have them take up screen space.
  • excellent quality makes it much more enjoyable and useful, and bitrate and resolution etc easily changeable.
  • Streaming a file, CD, DVD, TV, Webcam, anything you can stream or upload to stream, very easy and high quality.
  • installing the plugin does not require restarting the browser, just install and refresh the page.
  • Don't need an account to stream. (Can if you want to especially for followers, its easy, you've done it a million times before, takes less than 1 minute real time)
  • NOT COMPLICATED TO ADJUST STREAM SETTINGS - no pampering the livestream in fear of it getting fucked up
Cons:
  • you have to install a browser plugin that installs in less than 5 seconds and downloads in like 10 seconds tops. 15 seconds, and its not full of malware and viruses and shit its a legitimate install.
  • you could lose casual followers! (most of the people watching the stream are from the irc not casuals and want to watch a speedrun attempt, etc. If they really wanna watch it enough to spend less than 15 seconds to install a plugin then their viewing experience will be 10x more pleasant than constantly closing advertisements and watching fullscreen interactive ads that take 37-47 seconds with terrible framerates



its this easy:

then (already filled-out)

then (already filled-out)

you're done.

<@Swordless> Have you had this problem before? A game not starting until you cleaned it?

I would think the high quality of veetle would come at a price though - people with less than top-notch connections would probably see it as a slideshow :S
