Thanks girlsI did a search and could only find out that encoders are important but not exactly what they do for us cam girls.
Thank You!

The adobe encoder thing is specific to Streamate. So, you only have to worry about it if you are working that site.![]()



From what I understand (and I could be way off!) the encoder makes your network work harder, taking some of the extra work off of the sites server. This helps the site optimize their server space and output.
using the encoder on SM helps you get better placement on the site.





Streamate pushes it the most, but I use the encoder with cams.com, webcams.com, and I believe doesn't MFC use it now too....? Or do they have their own thing?
It enables you to stream to the server in HD... other than that I am not entirely sure what exactly it does...?

Does anyone know how to set it up? Where to download it ect?
I'm not sure about other sites but on Streamate, if you go to your dashboard on the top there's a banner that says "Want to make more money? Stream with the encoder today. Click here to configure your account & make more!" If you click on the link it will bring you to the page where you can download the Adobe Flash Media Encoder for free, and once you download it you follow the SM instructions lower on the page for configuring it with the right settings. I'm not tech savvy at all but I promise you it is incredibly easy to set up.
Now as far as actually broadcasting with the encoder, once you've downloaded it and have changed all the settings that you need to, open the encoder and then go to your SM dashboard and click to start your show. Right above your video feed you will see a drop down box. You will want to click on the option that says "External Encoding." Your video feed box on SM will go black, but that's normal. Click on the green "Start my show" button and you will get a pop-up box. Copy and paste the FMS URL and Stream information into the proper places in the encoder window, click on "Start" at the bottom of the encoder, and voila! You are now streaming with the encoder. You will be able to see yourself in the encoder but not on SM, so what a lot of girls like to do is resize their windows so the two are side by side. I'm not sure about other sites, but that's how you use the encoder on Streamate. I assume other sites have a very similar set-up process. Hope this helps!
Hey
I downloaded encoder, but I cant seem to configure it to work with SM. Either I show up on encoder, or SM. What settings do I need to change on the encoder?

I have a question that may or may not have already been answered but will the encoder work best with a specific camera or OS? I used it on iMac with my brand new BCC950 webcam and it was blurry, so switched to just streaming HD on SM. I adjusted settings but still not as clear as not using encoder.
