Although I am not streaming a great deal, I do tinker from time to time with Wirecast, in case your not sure what Wirecast is or does – then head to there website for the full low-down. The last time this software broke was in Version 3 when Apple updated Quicktime and it just so happens that Quicktime recently had an update. I Started Wirecast today and was met with the Watermark, this only happens in the Demo Version by chance. I checked my Preferences and sure enough, there is no Serial listed:

Wirecast 4 Released
A Long time coming and sitting for a couple of months in Beta, it is finally out of the doors for the general public – Wirecast 4. Thsi software allows you to turn your computer into a Studio to produce the kind of video effects normally seen with a Tricaster but at a fraction of the price and runs on either a Mac or a PC. Wirecast software lets you produce professional-looking live events with just a camera, an internet connection and a computer. Stream or record live internet shows, broadcast breaking news or sporting events, stream live concerts, transmit church services, corporate meetings, lectures and much more.
Streaming HD Video
As ISP’s provide faster bandwidth speeds, webcams get higher resolution and computers get faster and more core’s – it begs the question – can you now stream in full HD resolution to offer the best video possible as well do it on a free service? I recently watched what was claimed to be full blown HD Stream but after making this full screen and seeing ‘jaggies’ on the diagonal lines (such as the nose for example) – I questioned if this was really HD and what was at fault.
Wirecast updated to 3.5.7
Wirecast got updated to 3.5.7 – fixes include:
• Improved MPEG-2 decode filters
• Fixed sync issue when recording mono AAC audio to disk
• Fixed issue with firewall blocking Wirecast built-in Darwin streaming server
• Fixed issue for aspect ratio being saved for a shot as s a new device is connected
• Being able to restore aspect ratio that is saved in a document
Ustream Producer
Ustream have finally released there butchered version of wirecast which works only on Ustream. To put this in a nutshell, Wirecast is a $450 piece of software that works like a software tricaster and looks like they have been working with Ustream to make a version just for them. The Free version works better then the Test version of Wirecast, no annoying “This is a test” or Watermark and the pro version basically is Wirecast but for $199 cost – that’s half the price.
Wirecast by Telestream
A company by the name of Telestream make a whole line of products for both Windows & OSX, one such product is called Wirecast and this is best described as a low-cost Tri-Caster running in software. If you are into streaming to any of the services and have moved past the hobby stage – then the money outlay for this software is worth it for the end result – read on for a complete overview of this software.
iTunes V9 & Wirecast
Apple recently brought out both iTunes V9 & Quicktime 7.6.4 and you may well be tempted to download this, updates are good right? I was eager to update and went to the site to grab my copy (64bit Version) and update. The look of iTunes had gone from Black background to white and had a few new features. This will be no problem if you do not run Wirecast but if you do? Then you may be in for a shock.
