WebcamStudio 0.72

Hello and welcome to the new WebcamStudio. This release is a buggy and unstable one, so be gentle.

There is still missing features compared to WS0.57, but they will come.

What you need:

Java >= 1.7
AVCONV - FFMPEG - Windows users should download the proper ffmpeg static binary and put it in their PATH. The URL is: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds
Some patience ;)

How to use:

Drag'n drop your sources (movies, images, music) into the "Sources" panel (the middle one)
Webcams are auto-detected on startup.
Audio Preview is not activated by default, click the "Mixer" tab, and click the little speaker to activate it. Carefull with audio feedback!
Each source has a layer to use. Only one source can be on a layer. If more than one have the same layer, only one of them will be displayed.
"Record" button will record audio and video into a selected file. AVI, FLV, OGG are well supported. MPG cannot be used at the moment. WebM needs some tweaks.
To broadcast to Justin.tv or Bambuser, download your FME configuration file (XML), and drag'n drop the file in the "Output" panel.
You may need to tweak the FME file if the broadcasting bitrate is too high for your internet access.
To remove a "broadcast button", drag it to the right, it will be removed.
VLOOPBACK (v4l2loopback, webcamstudio) are auto detected in the "Output" panel. They are not activated by default.
You can save your setup in a Studio file in this version.
For high res mixing (640x480), you should use a compiled version of FFMPEG/AVCONV on your computer. This really helps the encoding part!
Start with a small setup first (320x240@15fps) before doing the hardcore stuff.
This version is mostly stable under linux. Windows and OSX need more testing.
You can create your own source, by creating a file "Something.wss". See the "CustomSource.wss" example in the archive's "docs" folder
Have fun!

Start a webcam, check if audio/video are lagging after a while.
Start a Desktop source. There is no audio with desktop. See if computer is dying.
Record a mix of audio/video into an AVI file. Check if the file is readable and have audio/video in sync.
Use the vloopback output. Check if video is stuttering (No audio in this mode).
Add an FME file to broadcast to Justin.tv, Bambuser, Ustream or VaughnTv (IceCast and Red5 are also supported)
