Live Video / Audio race broadcast tonight

Hey folks. For the past few weeks we have been experimenting with "Live" race broadcasting. We literally capture a race as it is happening and then encode and broadcast the feed to the public. We are still working on a few details but we could really use the help in putting a stress test on our system. The link is here http://vbn.gtrracing.com The pre-race show starts at 8:45 PM EST / 7:45 PM CST You can check out the page now, there isn't anylive video right now but you can see the basics. Also we are featuring an idea I thought up similar to NASCAR's racecast - what we do is actually broadcast the standings of the race every lap or so - this keeps you updated on who is in what position and what lap are they on - just like they do on TV with the scrolling Marquee. Check it out and please help us out tonight by watching at least some of the stream. By the way you can join us on PALTALK (www.paltalk.com) during the race, you will need a free account and once your signed in just choose groups and then VRW_Sportsman, not the VRW CUP group, that is a different division then the one we are in and talking in. Thanks for your help - feel free to check out the site. David McCall - LikeReal Racing ./ Internet Racing Network / RoboMac Productions

(the window on the right said a "Race" session is in progress.) Andy

Just reply to the newsgroup, Thanks!

This is too cool. I'm watching the cars run around Pocono and listening to two announcers. The video is slightly blurry...but heck! This is definately a step in the right direction. Good work lads. dave henrie "Andy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Anyway, went and got real player, and shockwave, and am checking it out now. I really like the idea, and the announcers even! It's pretty slow on my cable though. (video updating, and pausing quite a bit.) No slow down or lag with the announcers though. I think you guys are on to something here. :-) Andy Just reply to the newsgroup, Thanks!
