Re: Live internet show

What Bob said. Also, the Boinx product, while nice, is not in the right league for the level of project you are proposing.

You can go back and start over with a clean sheet of paper and start researching all the little bits and pieces yourself, but I would suggest your time and money is better spent getting a couple hours paid consultation from a pro engineer, if this is really a serious project. We can chip in ideas for you here and there, piecemeal, but you really need a contractor to do this for you, unless you've been in the biz as long as Bob and absorbed all this arcana required to create a meaningful bid off the top of the head.

Or maybe you might need to re-evaluate what you're trying to do, why do you want or need to emulate broadcast QVC type stuff on the net. Computer auctions are a breed apart from TV ones, and to my mind, what might work better for you is to think of an auction site like ebay, but that has a live or looped playback video window on the side of the auction interface. If such a thing is even desired by people. It's a subtle difference at first, but the more you look at it, the more you realize it is looking completely thru the other end of the telescope.

Frankly, for most things, I wouldn't bother wanting the added drag and slowness of video on the page while I do my auction hunting. But that's a business/marketing question, and not a tech one.
