Streaming is an often confusing term. Do you want people from the Internet to view your webcam video capture? You need to port forward the RTSP port and do some advanced tricks to do UDP hole punching or some such technique to allow the outside world to view the video on a private IP. Since protocols like RTP, FTP, PPTP use a non standard port as part of the payload of handshake, this is very tricky. But it can be done. You could use streaming libraries like live555 to achieve the same. Even mplayer or ffmpeg can do the same thing. But live555 is in C++ and mplayer and ffmpeg is in C. Big difference no? Is it a good thing to write in C++? Find out for yourself. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech http://gayatri-hitech.com [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
