Make public webcam. Which protocol, which codec. (Using VLC)
- by gsedej
Hi!
I want to use my old (1GHz) PC as webcam video stream server (like you can see those road cameras).
I thought of using VLC and already tried using http output but it was not really good. Too cpu hungry, too big stream (kBps), not stable...
I been reading VLC how-to's but thre is still a question.
Which output should I use? Http, RTSP, UDP? I want to make for more than one computer at the same time (multicast).
Which codec should be good? PC is not so fast so it shouldn't be too cpu hungry codec. Mpeg2, mpeg4, xvid?
how much video buffer should I use (vb=?)?
What about setting IP and ports?
So I need some help with ideas, but if someone can make a VLC command line it's even better :)
Oh, computer has direct internet connection and own IP.
