vidnet

hello.

i am looking for a possibility to capture sessions live via vidnet. which means

computer A:
runs resolume and broadcasts picture + audio

computer B:
captures the video from vidnet and renders it in hq to disc (together with the audio).

advantages:
computer B can take care of the saving to disc and A can perform at maximum power.

and hints for this setup? experiences? pitfalls?

vidnet doesnt cast the audio thats playing.... but on the second computer you can his the record button in resolume and it will record it to the hard drive

There are two basic limits:

-the maximum resolution for vidnet via 100Mbps lan is 320x240, so you would have to use a gigabt net or more...

-Resolume only records uncompressed avi files, so you can record only short clips.

i am aware that 100mbit has its limits and that resolume records no audio.

on the other hand i am looking for a software that merges the incoming vidnet stream with analog audio. any more ideas?

Sounds like a boulder to crack a nut. Is there a specific reason you must use vidnet?

You can just record the audio and video simultaneously to another pc with an analogue capture card -

Just take the video signal (split it if you need to) and take a line out from your sound card and route them both to your recording pc (or dv-cam even) inputs.
