• VH Screen Capture Driver
• UScreenCapture
• ManyCam

VLC Media Player and Windows Media Encoder 9 can also be used for screen broadcasting, but they do not have input drivers so the output can’t be fed into another program.
Additionally, CamStudio can be used to record the screen (but not broadcast), and Skype can be used the broadcast the screen to a single person.

start VLC -I dummy screen:// :screen-fps=4.000000 :screen-caching=300 :sout=#transcode{venc=ffmpeg{keyint=40,vt=40,hurry-up},vcodec=WMV2,vb=150,fps=4,height=480,acodec=none}:http{mux=asf,dst=:PORT/} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :sout-keep

1. Change PORT to the desired port. It may be any unused port above 1024. Examples include 2199 and 8080.
2. Put the code into a text file in your VLC directory called stream.cmd.
3. Double click to run.
4. Access the stream with WMP10 or VLC at http://YOUR_IP:PORT/
5. Replace YOUR_IP and PORT with your current IP address and your chosen port. An easy way to find your current IP address is by going to ipchicken.com or whatsmyip.org

This will broadcast your screen at 4 fps at 150 kilobits/second. It can be opened in any program that can display wmv2/asf/http. Example programs include Windows Media Player 10 and VLC. If need be, you can change height (the vertical resolution in pixels) and vb (the bitrate in kilobits/second) as necessary. Note that the width is inferred from the height. This batch file could potentially be modified to run on operating systems other than Windows. I use this often to share my screen with friends, and to allow friends to watch me play Starcraft 2. Note for Starcraft 2 in particular, the game will need to be in Windowed-fullscreen or windowed mode.

To change the background FPS, you may either change the maxfpsbk value in the config.wtf file or with a line of text in-game.

Type
/console maxfpsbk 8
to set the maximum background FPS to 8. This can be any integer, so you can set it higher than 30 if you wish.
(Note: It cannot be set lower than 8. If you try to set it lower than 8, it will still run at 8.)

There is a way to turn off the start-up movies in a non-destructive way. Find your “My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config\UTEngine.ini” file. Open it with a text editor, such as notepad, and search for “[FullScreenMovie]“. Directly below it, add semicolons before all the sections that say “StartupMovies”. It should look like this:

[FullScreenMovie]
;StartupMovies=Copyright_PC
;StartupMovies=EpicLogo
;StartupMovies=MidwayLogo
;StartupMovies=UE3_logo
;StartupMovies=Nvidia_PC
;StartupMovies=Intel_Duo_Logo
;StartupMovies=UT_loadmovie1

Congratulations. You have disabled start-up movies and/or restored your loading screens!

Short answer: Restart your computer.

Explanation: I have two monitors that I was trying use with my computer, and I encountered a particular problem. I’m running Windows XP Pro SP3 with NVIDIA graphics. I tried to set up the monitors in a primary/secondary configuration, allowing each monitor to have a different resolution, and my task bar to fill one screen. I had a problem because despite the help literature describing the option, I had no ability to select “Dualview”. After searching the web for a solution, some more brutal than others, I tried a simple one. It was suggested that I restart my computer. The reason being that the NVIDIA control panel or my operating system can’t detect both my monitors at a low level unless the operating system is started with both of the monitors connected. Since I didn’t plug in the monitor until after the system was up and running, it hadn’t been started with both monitors. Restarting the computer fixed this problem because it allowed the operating system to detect both monitors at start up.

Pros:

• Compact. Only has one “Windows” key, the margins of the keyboard are small, and the “Home End Insert Delete” row is 2×3 instead of 3×2. It doesn’t take long to get used to.
• Responsive, relatively quiet keys.
• USB.
• Has the ability to press several keys simultaneously. It’s no gaming keyboard, but it’s close.
• Cheap

Cons:

• Sometimes doesn’t get recognized by my BIOS unless it’s the only USB device. Note that it always works once the OS starts. I’m not sure if this is a problem with my computer or the keyboard.
• No built-in USB hub.
• No built-in volume control (note: this could be a pro for some).
• Keys aren’t loud, but they aren’t silent.

Overall, I give this keyboard a 4/5. Definitely a good buy if you are looking for a minimalistic keyboard that isn’t huge. I use it for gaming all the time and it works fine for me.

Recap of my dream VoIP program:

• Text chat
• Low-latency audio
• Video
• Group chat, group audio, and group video calls
• Free internet-to-internet calls
• Robust back-end network
• Peer-to-peer for most operations (increases efficiency)
• Firewall transversal, when necessary
• File transfers
• Username-based identification. No confusing IPs or ports to work with
• Optional offline LAN-only mode
• Graceful quality degradation
• Audio and video usable in dial-up or GPRS conditions
• User-configurable quality setting
• Optional auto-reconnection for dropped calls
• Silent reconnection. The program stays hidden when it’s not called by the user. No pop-ups saying “THE NETWORK CONNECTION WAS LOST”.
• Extreme resilience to packet loss and jitter. I’d like audio to work in 50-80% packet loss. Maybe some extreme forward error correction would do the job.

Tigole – The first raid I designed was quite naturally perfect, it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. An unending triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. The inevitability of progression is as apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every human being, thus I redesigned it based on your history to more accurately reflect the varying epic-ness of your nature. However, I was again frustrated by failure. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a lesser mind, or perhaps a mind less bound by the need for subscribers. Thus, the answer was stumbled upon by another, an intuitive program, initially created to investigate certain aspects of marine life.

Raider – Ghostcrawler.

Tigole – Please. As I was saying, he stumbled upon a solution whereby nearly 99.9% of all test subjects accepted raiding, as long as they were given a difficulty choice, even if they were only aware of the choice at the zone in. While this answer functioned, it was obviously fundamentally flawed, thus creating the otherwise contradictory term “easy progression”, that if left unchecked might threaten the system itself. Ergo, those that refused to do hard modes, while a minority, if unchecked, would constitute an escalating probability of disaster.

Raider – This is about achievements.

Tigole – You are here because the proto-drake is about to be removed. Its every user immortalized, its means of acquisition eradicated.

Raider – Bull@@!#.

Tigole – Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the second time we have removed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.

Tigole – The function of the raider is to return to the zone-in, allowing a temporary dissemination of the epics you carry, disbanding your guild. After which you will be required to select from the server 24 individuals to sign a guild charter. Failure to comply with this process will result in a cataclysmic system crash killing every raider on the server, which coupled with the extermination of raiding will ultimately result in the extinction of World of Warcraft.

Raider – You won’t let it happen, you can’t. You need human beings to subscribe.

Tigole – There are levels of subscription we are prepared to accept.
