VLC notes

Notes on the state of video streaming.

On the relay machine (has bandwidth in a datacenter somewhere, IP address is $relay):

vlc rtp://@:11000 --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=$relay:8080'

On the machine with a digital video camera connected:

dvgrab -format dv1 - | ffmpeg -f dv -i -  -target ntsc-dvd - | \
cvlc -vvv - --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=348,ab=128,vfilter=canvas{width=320,height=240}}:rtp{mux=ts,dst=$relay,port=11000}'

On the client:

vlc http://$relay:8080
