EPTOriginally started as /v/craft by GrizzlyAdam, three new members joined: Abyss, Atticus, and Sheekthief. Currently, as GrizzlyAdam and Atticus are busy with IRL obligations, Abyss and Sheekthief have taken over Ragequit and continue to cast. While Ragequit.tv was being developed, several other casters join, including prodiG, Ipp, Wolf, and Stropheum.
Currently, RAGEQUIT.tv's lineup includes:

Previous USTREAM Setup Information and Hardware Specs
+ Show Spoiler +
In order to stream via uStream I use Adobe Media Encoder, this is much more complicated for a number of reasons. First of all you need to specify a driver to record your screen, second it only lets you choose one audio input so you need to combine your microphone and audio port, and thirdly it is a multi purpose tool and not just for ustream (lots of configuration).
In order to record my screen; I use VhScreenCap. Oddly enough there is a setting inside VH Screen cap that "optimizes" the quality; it is on by default and looks like it should be on. However with it on I average about 5-6 FPS while with it off I go up to the 30's.

Now to combine the audio and microphone I use a program called "Virtual Audio Cable". This program will install a virtual sound device and by opening "Audio Repeater" twice you can echo both your microphone and speakers onto that device! Note: Windows Vista/7 users may have difficulty as this device is not signed and may not install properly. To get around this I just used "ReadyDriver Plus", it isn't as clean as disabling through GP/Registry/etc but was quick and easy.
Finally for the last part of the puzzle; Adobe Media Creator. Of course you will need to do the standard ustream setup (http://www.ustream.tv/higher-quality) but here are my additional settings. When streaming it is a good idea to ensure no one on your network is running any torrenting/p2p applications as these will tend to lagg your stream.

In order to record videos, I use Fraps it does a great job pretty much out of the box. However there are a few things you should know about recording in hi-def.
- Every minute is roughly 1.5 GB
- It puts so much stress on your hard drive that running SC2, Windows, and Fraps off of the same hard drive will lagg your computer. You really need to dedicate a seperate hard drive just for Fraps.
- It splits files up every 3.9 GB so you will need to combine them
