http://live.pirillo.com/ – Why is Chris’s head floating in OS X? Well, he’s going to show you how he produces live.pirillo.com!

Chris is actually using CamTwist inside OSX. CamTwist allows you to manipulate live video much better than anything else found on Windows:

CamTwist is a software package that lets you add special effects to your video chats. It’s also possible to stream your desktop and still images. With CamTwist, you can also use multiple video chat programs at the same time.

CamTwist comes with an installer package and manual install instructions. Install the CamTwist driver along with the application program. You’ll need to configure your chat software to use the CamTwist camera. Once that is done, launch the CamTwist application and have fun.

He captures IRC using Colloquy, a superior IRC client to almost anything found on Windows:

Traditionally, chat clients on the Mac have been anything but glamorous. Colloquy is an advanced IRC, SILC & ICB client which aims to fill this void. By adhering to Mac OS X interface conventions, Colloquy has the look and feel of a quality Mac application.

Do you stream video online? If so, what programs do you use?
