Looking at getting a ventrillo or teamspeak server.... so which one should I get?

Ergot · « **Reply #1 on:** August 18, 2005, 11:02:26 pm »

Vent.

Ventrillo is better if you don't mind it not being free. As for me, I'd clearly go with teamspeak.

Cost is not an issue... I am simply talking about what you prefer.

Joe · « **Reply #5 on:** August 18, 2005, 11:35:23 pm »

I've never used ventrillo, but I hear the quality is a lot better.

Personally, I hate all VoIP.

I wouldn't consider Vent VoIP, but alright.

I prefer vent, personally.

Vent is way better, and only has one 'L' fools...

Joe · « **Reply #8 on:** August 19, 2005, 01:52:41 pm »

RABBlT only has one L too. =)

Teamspeak.

I already have servers for each client up and running.

Ventrilo is free Joe. You nub

Joe · « **Reply #11 on:** August 19, 2005, 07:15:17 pm »

Not the server.

Screenor · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2005, 08:11:25 pm »

Ventrilo. Vent is only not free if you are going to by a 1000+ man server, which no one needs.

As for better quality, Ventrilo as well, TS muffels everything horribly.

What will lag you less in a game? TS, however, the difference is only about 20-30ms.

Anyways, that's my reasoning. I vote for Vent.

It doesn't muffle you if the codec is Speex 25.9 Kbit.

Too bad most hosts for TS don't supply higher then a 16-kbit codec eh?

Blaze · « **Reply #16 on:** August 20, 2005, 10:16:29 am »

Good thing my friend Link's servers do.

Screenor · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2005, 08:26:24 pm »

Doesn't matter, it'll still cost a bitch more then Vent.

True Say True Say.

The ventrilo server is free, up to 8 clients :/ which isn't enough... teamspeak is completely free as long as it's not used for business related things.

I personally like the quality of vent over teamspeak.

I've done some tests with Vent, TS, and Skype. Skype beat them all by a mile in clarity, speed, and usability. However, it runs into the same problem as Vent with groups, doesn't do them very well (at least with the free version, afaik).

Right, I believe the max groupchat is 5, 4 people, and the host. Skype claims they will be working on support for more in future releases. However, since it's a client hosting the calls, a 50 person chat is unlikely, unless you are on your own 100Mbps or something.

Screenor · « **Reply #23 on:** August 28, 2005, 01:45:24 am »

Well, TS is just crap, even if it is free, big no no. $:-\$

Have you used the new version of Vent? The new codec fucks up your voice bad. I knoticed this after 2 months of teamspeak on speex

The codec is fine.

Vex3 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 28, 2005, 08:57:12 am »

Blaze my voice is not messed up when I talk on my server and neither is yours. You sound 100% clear and just as you do in real life. Teamspeak just looks ghetto.
