Over the past few years this disagreement seems to continually come up with what is the best way to broadcast an FRC event? While you bring up market share as a major point, let me explain VLC a little more since it seems you have ignored it or have lack of use with the software. VLC through bundled plugins plays every major media format on all three major OS (Win, OSX, Linux), and it does this at a low level of resources needed. Ustream and Flash based applications not only need 3rd party plugins but also are great resource hogs as previously stated. Now as for market share, I do not know of a media user on a Mac or Linux distro that doesn't use VLC as (non pro) software. The only reason i know people who use WMP or other apps on a Windows based OS instead of VLC is because of their lack of knowledge in use if the program. My suggestion would to use the mms feeds provided and avoid the use of ustream and their ad covered and explicit website.
