Putting a live video on site

[SidekickWD]

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right spot or not, but here it goes. I have a client who wants to add a live video to his website for one special event. Then take that video and replay it on the site afterwards.

I have no friggen idea of how to do this for him. I know there are video programs out there, but so many of them seem shady to me. Any suggestions at all?

Thanks in advance.

Upload it to a youtube account and link it from there, this will also save of his bandwidth

Can he show a live video from Youtube?

No I wouldn't think live

That right there is the problem. So I looked around, and so far everyone seems to rave about USTREAM, have any of you heard about it. This seems to be what my client would need. And then he could stick it on youtube and embed it from there afterwards.

That's correct Brandy, except you can embed it directly from USTREAM in the show info section

Er, that's what I meant, but it didn't come out very well. The live show he could use Ustream, and then use youtube to replay it later on. Or did you mean he can use Ustream for both??

I think though, if you and some others have heard good things about ustream, that is the way I will have him go. He could then use that same program for future video feeds if he decided to do it again. Makes the most sense I think.
