I'm sure it will work, it will be more of a question of whether your computer can handle it, and whether or not it will be too much strain on your internet connection. I can stream games like team fortress 2 and unreal tournament without any system lag, but my latency increases substantially in relation to the quality of the stream. I'm not certain I will be able to both have a good beta experience and stream high quality live beta footage, but worst case scenario I record it and then upload it later. I get less than 1Mbps upload, so a 400kbps livestream might cause me to lag on Bnet, which might be a problem.
The method by which we will have to stream will most likely be procaster recording our desktops while we play SC2 in no-border windowed mode.

See if the Recording Screen option instead of Game in Procaster works. Otherwise perhaps Camtasia method will work

there is no way you'll ACTUALLY be sticking to those races ;P
you'll definitely be using all three equally, testing around
|
I probably will at some point.
Channel
I previously have only made D (As you may see from my on demand xD) as I'm new to the SC scene, But I'll be playing Terran.
Edit: Procaster works with every other game out there right now I believe. I used to stream BfME2 and it worked fine there. It's pretty simple to use.

I played only Zerg at Blizzcon (~40 games), plan to do the same in Beta. Perhaps play each race vs zerg very sparingly.
Setting up my stream currently, I will link when finished.

I wouldn't get too excited about your streams unless you have an insane monster computer or a setup streaming off two computers =/
My 4890/e8400 can't come anywhere close to streaming anything semi-old like HL2 at lowest settings  And I expect SC2 to be more advanced enough to fill that gap up to 5890 (or w/e) and i7.
On that subject, does anyone know how/if it's possible to play SC2 on one computer, hook a second computer up to the same monitor and stream from the second?
I'll be streaming if possible but at the moment I don't expect it will be, and I'll be switching races periodically for a while.
Edit: Which version of UT are you talking about Wr3k? I assume 2k4, because if you can stream UT3 that's insane.

I will stream occasionally probably. Depending on the impact on performance.

I'm running an i7 box at 4GHz on all cores, I can stream stuff like TF2 without any hardware lag, the problem is my internet connection, which hopefully doesn't get too pwnd so that I can play without a bunch of latency issues.

it shouldn't be too bad. I was able to stream TF2 from my laptop which had a Geforce 8600GT and Core 2 Duo T7250 @ 2.0 ghz with playable frame rates. I'll be playing SC2 on my desktop (Radeon 5770 / AMD Athlon II X2 250 @ 3.0 ghz) so I should be good.

Hey, Im currently setting up my livestream to start showing SC2 beta stuff when I get ahold of it 
I have a key(blizzcon 08 atleast) and yes this really is my 2nd post! Ill do everything i can and i also have fraps so i may upload things to youtube as well, although I've never done anything like this before so i don't have a youtube account created yet. ill update and pm the OP if i do.

That's weird, I must have something going weird with my steam/TF2 setup because IIRC I couldn't even get a TF2 stream running at all (black screen).
I had more luck streaming over Xfire though. I failed at everything on Livestream.com except SC.

If someone wanted to do commentary on my beta stream/vods I wouldn't mind teaming up with them if we could get it to work. Send me a PM if you are interested.

I might. Doubt my computer can handle livestreaming though. Probably record and then upload on youtube.

I don't know how livestream works exactly, but i'm just recommending that streamers lower their ingame resolution to that of the stream resolution so there is no downscaling. Because downscaling causes a big loss in quality.
I've seen youtube clips of people playing games in 1920:1200 and then dropping the res to 1280:720 for upload and it looks terrible.

The problem with that is while streaming you can't possibly upload a full widescreen resolution unless you are on a fiber connection with a shitton of upload bandwidth. I'll do what I can
