Streaming Live Video

Regarding the video camera, if it is a DV Recorder with firewire you'd probably be able to hook it up to a firewire enabled PC (you can by a firewire card if your PC doesn't have such a port). There is software that take such video input (real time) and make it appear as a high resolution webcam (with audio). Because it appears to most software as a webcam it can be streamed like any other webcam input.

As for services I can think of the most common ustream.tv, justin.tv, and stickam . The problem with choppy steaming can often be a function of the receivers ISP, and any latency between them and the streaming service you use. And of course you'll need a good internet connection between you and the streaming service servers. Of course the amount of bandwidth that the streaming services have is key as well. I have personally used justin.tv and ustream.tv . If you can reduce the resolution of your video that can reduce bandwidth and can improve the streaming quality.

I'm not sure you will find anywhere that is perfect.

If you do have a DV Recorder this type of software can be handy: http://www.orangeware.com/endusers/webcamdv.html, and http://www.trackercam.com/TCamWeb/dvdriver.htm .
