Greetings,

We're somewhat new to Macs (but loving it so far and wondering why we took so long to switch over!)...

What we want to do is do some live streaming of video for news purposes. We'll likely be using one of the available web platforms like UStream.tv, Mogulus.com, etc.

What we're wondering is if it is possible to hook up multiple camcorders (or webcams) to a Macbook, for instance. Perhaps using a firewire hub? Maybe two or three cameras.

Also, are there any recommendations as to software and hardware that we should use for this? We're a low budget operation and we also love the KISS principle. ;)

Plus, any thoughts on specific camcorders we should use for live streaming to the Macs? I noticed some camcorders do not support this.

Many thanks,
Ray
