You sort models by resolution and frame rate, which is not fair for many good models.

For vittle, i wish you success with your future studio , you should take in consideration the sponsor from my signature.

Put your girls on 4-5 sites (no more than 5). For webcam splitting use Webcam Splitter (you don't need the pro version) http://very-soft.com/ its like 20$. There are some free alternatives, but this is the best one i have used. AWE (livejasmin.com, the sponsor from my signature) used to give free licenses of vCam http://www.e2esoft.cn/vcam/ , a pretty good webcam splitter but with lots of bugs, not recommended.

Quality its important! Buy at least quad core PC's. You will need them if you are going to stream on maximum quality on 4 or 5 sites. Encoding takes a lot of your CPU power.

For 5 stations you will need at least 15 mbps upload bandwidth.

Use DeepFreeze (it cost you some money but will save you a lot of nerves), this software will remember and restore all your default settings you make on a webcam station.

Like JustDaveXxx say, don't let girls on facebook, hi5, myspace, yahoo messenger, msn etc. Block these sites from router.

Make clear rules for the girls. I don't pay them daily, i don't think its a good ideea (tested) but its very very important to pay them on time (when you say you'll pay, pay!). I pay them on 2 weeks.

And yes, dealing with cam girls its a real pain in the ass, but you can make pretty good money and sometimes its fun. Don't hire any bitch! Few good girls like 10 can make you money like 50! Go with quality not quantity.

In my city are like 40 studios, i still survive
720p, not 740p. Good post and good advice though. You are right about bullshit claims of "HD". The minimum would need to be 960x720 (4:3 ratio vs. 16x9) and no one offers that. The bottleneck is on the studio side. Encoding in real HD takes a powerful PC just for one site and models are on many sites at once. Then there is the bandwidth issue... Also, sites are built for 320x240. No one has build a good looking high resolution (640x480) chat room yet.
