BuyerZone user comments: web conferencing service purchasing requirements

"I have been asked by my pastor to assemble the ability to do webcasts of Sunday Services as well as recording to DVD for later viewing.Our church as a capacity of ~200. Physical dimensions are about 30'x60'. Music and speech are key components to consider.I am technically able to assemble and operate this system but I have no experience in the webcasting arena. I need an education and a quote on materials and services.We have no video recording equipment or an encoding server. We do have a rudimentary audio arrangement."
