    Duh Arrrggh I give up!!!

    Trying to splitcam that is! Please if anyone can help me with this I would be sooooo grateful. Here's the the story so far:

    A while back I decided I could earn much more by splitcamming between two sites so I downloaded SplitCam, got myself set up on SM to split with AW(JustCammit ), it became very apparent very quickly that a) our broadband was not fast enough and b) my poor old computer was not powerful enough . Then I tried using two webcams, (logitec pro9000 x 2) but I could not get my computer to recognise both cams, it would only pick up one at a time . Next we changed internet providers to give us a faster speed and my puter decided to die, so a new more powerful one was bought. So, after reading various threads on this forum I decided to go for ManyCams this time. Grrrrrr When ever I tried logging into SM and JustCammit, only one would show a pic! Which ever one I opened first and the SM encoder kept kicking me off! . I decided to try SplitCam again, it works! sort of! But here's my prob. In the SM encoder, all speeds are good and fps sits at 15fps, however on JustCammit it drops to -10fps and this then means that custies are getting a very jerky pic! and SplitCam does not give me the option to increase frame rate above 10fps! I have searched and searched the forum but cannot find an answer to my particular problem and I desperatley want to be able to do this .
    Any info will of course be gratefully recieved.

    I've also given up on splitcamming ImLive and AdultWork. When I tried it, the video on one or both of the sites would keep freezing up and stuff like that. So I said whatever...one cam site at a time.

    It works perfectly fine for me, but you need steady fast internet and a newish computer that you don't download a lot of programs on.

    I tried it with an older computer and it just won't work.

    I bought an i7 with 9 gigs of ram (adding more soon too) and upgraded my net to their fastest premium plan, and it's been the best investment I ever made. I can stream up to 3 sites in HD along with 2 non-HD, all at the same time.

    What type of processor speed do you have on your computer, and how much ram?

    I bet you could probably do it if you weren't using the encoder. Streaming in HD on SM requires huge computer power and HUGE internet upload speed. You could try splitting AW with another non-HD site and see what happens?

    Actually it does work not using the HD encoder, but, I had a few guys moaning about the quality of the pic .

    laurielegs: Yeah mines a new computer, Running Pentium Dual Core 3.20GHz
    RAM 3.00GB
    64bit

    Not sure how fast our internet is, will have to check with bf.
    Does any of this info help?

    I am gonna try split camming without the HD Encoder tonight, as I still managed to take quite a good amount of $$$ that time

    I am wondering if you need more ram. You can have up to 16 gigs with that processor if I'm not mistaken (if you are running a 64 bit operating system along with it). I have 9 gigs and with six sites running and a couple in hd it finally chokes so I'm adding even more soon.

    Thanks hun, will look into as bf says my new computer is ok for the money , I only ever use it for work so no downloads etc just work related stuff. Maybe we will look into adding more ram at a later date, for now I have uninstalled Sp[litCam and reinstalled ManyCam, as that was the one that worked without HD. Thanks again ladies I knew you wouldn't let me down .

    if you go to http://www.speedtest.net you can test your upload speed. This is the speed that matters to us for camming. In the UK, generally the upload speed is low. You really need to have a 2mbps upload speed to consider split camming properly. I've done it with 1.2 but it's not great quality. Anything less than 1 and it's probably always going to be bad

    Melonie posted the following in the 'speedtest' thread:

    "What nobody has posted so far is the relationship of actual upload speeds to the bandwidth requirements of various video streams.

    For standard 480p resolution at 15fps, you need somewhere around 0.5 mbps

    For 720p at 15fps, you need around 1.5mbps. For 720p at 30fps, you need around 3.0mbps

    for 1080p true HD you need 8+ mbps"

    So, unless you have upload speed well above the UK average, (which is less than 1mbps), splitcamming is probably not going to be great

    I splitcam on aw and sm and have the same issues. Manycam does not work at all, only have one picture on one site, but splitcam works ok if i try and try over and over till it finally works. I also use the logitech 9000 and can't increase the picture size on justcammit, i just get a little box arrggh! I usually manage to get the encoder working and saying HD on sm though.

    Being in the UK really disadvantages us in terms of camming! I have shitty 3.62 mbps download, and abysmal 0.37 mbps upload

    1.- Post your speedtest result
    2.- Post the exact specs of your computer

    There could be many things causing the problem...

    @misskatie, I have a business package (expensive) and live right in the middle of a town, literally around the corner from the exchange.
    Dreaming of cable one day! But so far no cable in my area either

    i can't help you with the 2 sites your on because I've never tried to use them together. But I was having problems with my internet not being good enough....even after I made a private deal to with them to pay more than everyone else in town ...but that was just for better upload speed.

    I contacted them again complaining that I really couldn't do more than 1 thing at a time.Even on seperate computers.

    Like if my husband was on one playing a game and I logged into skin video or even started uploading a video it would promptly boot him.

    I told em I wanted another dsl box put in because 1 wasn't cutting it. And they assured me that I shouldn't need another box.They would just go turn more of my "ports on" I have no idea how many I was running on...or how many they turned on. Or how any is left that could be turned on cuz they tend to not tell you these things.
    But I do know once they opened more up I can run 4 sites now if I wanted to ...while he's playing games on the other computer.

    I have a cheap ass 499$ computer from walmart that I use. with only like 2 gb it does just fine.

    I do plan to get a better one tho but not so much because it won't keep up.
