I am hosting a massive NYE party in my building between 2 apartments. They are upstairs from each other.
I have a fairly good AirPort network that lets me easily surf from one apartment to the other. What we want to do is hook up iSights to a couple of Mac's and wirelessly stream video from one apartment to the other. We will be hooking the Macs up to projectors and beaming onto the walls.
Can anyone advise on what software I should use to actually perform this feat?
Got all the hardware, just wondering the best way to do it with software.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated by many revellers!!!
Thanks in advance,
Jordan

iChat is probably best id guess. + it can go fullscreen etc.
Sounds very cool.

Sounds like iChat is the way to go. Now how do I record it?
Should I webcast it or is that to hard? Could use something like EvoCam....

You could use QuickTime Broadcaster http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/broadcaster/ its a free product from Apple and will let you save the stream to a file while it broadcasts. Its free to use and download and rather easy to set up. Sounds like a cool idea for a party.

Webcast might rinse your bandwidth severely. Recording wouldn't be terribly easy either, you'd have to use Snapz Pro X or something.

I'm at work right now (sad, I know!) so can't download and play with this at the moment. Will this do what I want to do? Also worried that I only have about 200Gb free on my harddisk so will the whole thing fall over if it runs out of disk space at an inopportune time, eg. 11:58pm!!!
Has anyone got any experience with this? Does it send a Quicktime stream to the internet and the other computer plays that stream from the internet?
Will definitely have a play with it this evening but would appreciate a heads up from anybody.
Ta.
