Oh, you also asked about resolution.
That's an important one for SD. Not so much for HD.

I shoot at 720 x 480 standard resolution.

So I was encoding the streaming vids at that resolution. But they were looking funny to me. They almost looked "squashed" like when you watch a 4:3 movie stretched out on a 16:9 screen...everybody looks short and squat.

I searched and searched...and it turns out that pixels on a monitor are square. So to stream "correctly" you have to use 640 x 480 for SD! Once I did that...it was perfect.

Now for HD, I would assume you would bring it down to a resolution that would fit most screens. I fooled around shooting in HD a few months ago and when I put the movie up onscreen it was GIGANTIC! lol

It was like one nostril filling up my entire monitor. So I obviously don't know shit about HD yet.
