Someone should document how best to do a stream like this.
They seem to have a program called XSplit which lets them do picture-in-picture camera video (wireless? laptop webcam?) and a VLC feed (to stream live desktop video screenshots - hard to read even at 720p and no chance if they put several on screen).
Also need how to actually run such a stream once it's setup - responding to people on chat, switching feeds, doing hourly recaps or maybe scrolling marquees of status.
The recaps or lack thereof are really bad at the moment - there was a meeting about the game design but nobody explained to the camera what the outcomes were. It's written on the conference room whiteboard but we can't see that - maybe a rapid fire blog of decisions/milestones for people to catch up on the code run?
Like John Madden, screaming about dropped semi-colons and unprotected pointer dereferences?
I'm pretty sure the Starcraft community has figured out how to do this right. It's too bad they didn't invite a pro to come and make it more entertaining.
If you search the forums on Justin.tv/Twitch.tv you can find the answers to these questions. Most serious casters use Flash Media Encoder to encode/upload their stream. There is a variety software for actually doing the screen capture and combing multiple video feeds. Usually people use some combination of XSplit, Camtasia, VH Capture, etc.
