• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

How do I record with iMovie and broadcast live at the same time?

I record live through iMovie currently. I have camers through a switcher, which connects DV to the firewire input of my Mac Book. I import it live in iMovie and then edit it there after.

I'd like to also broadcast live on a site like ustream. However, I can't get the video to go to both at once.

Any ideas on how to solve this? Software that can do both? A splitter?

There's another Mac Book here if the firewire could be split somehow. I'd prefer to keep it all on the same computer, but it's possible.

Depending on your situation, you might want to look into the Wirecast software from Telestream. Wirecast lets you stream multiple live video cameras while dynamically mixing in other media such as movie clips, images, audio and text. Features such as Chroma Key (green screen), 3D transitions, built-in titles and up to 35 layers of live compositing allow you to create professional broadcast productions for live or on-demand distribution to services such as Ustream, Livestream and Justin.TV, as well as to a wide range of streaming servers.

Basically, you can produce professional-looking live events with just a camera, an internet connection and a computer.

Check out BoinxTV. They have a lighter edition that is cheaper than the "full" version which sells for about the same as Wirecast.
