World: r3wp

(btw, the audio is me talking with my brother ;)

vlc can handle the stream fine for a period, but then dies

QT does not work. But maybe my PC is not fast enough.

after trying to restart its death now. before it was first mesay, 
then i pressed stop and start and it was clear.

hmm, broadcaster error

i restarted it now.

didec: cpu shouldn't be a problem. even with h.264 it never eats 
more than 50% here on my 1.25 Ghz mini

still 263, 12fps

the bitrate is very high. between 3-500 kbps

Mum's on the internet :)

i don't think we can go much lower than that with 263

hi, Gabriele's mum

;)

she says hello :)

Bonjourno la mama

also, anyone ever tryed apple's avchat? could it be used in a situation 
like this?

ichat eats a lot of cpu

plus I don't think it can broadcast video

realvideo?

realvideo is too much proprietary for my taste. ;) but... i'll have 
a look at it too maybe.

it's likely that would cost money though.

qtbroadscaster seems to hang sometimes with 263

probably. I also hate to say WMV, but I've seen the best streams 
without problems in that format

second time it hung now.

doesn't that require a windows server though?

I think it does

vlc can also stream video, but I don't know if it can grab from a 
webcam

in theory vlc can. i never made it to work though. and i tried quite 
hard. :)

I've had it working on LAN

me too, but only for mpeg transport, and from a dvd source.

ok, too bad

from a DV (firewire camera) source the only thing working out of 
the box is QT on MacOS

i managed to make ffmpeg work partially on linux

mencoder?

but... it refused to work on my linux server.

mencoder uses ffmpeg internally.

(closing things out here. maybe snother test session tomorrow ;)

ok, good session today here :-)

if only we could do this in rebol...

heh :) maybe someday in the future. ;) i guess we'd face the same 
troubles anyway.

design of DevCon website is excellent. If RT would have such fresh 
look, it will make their public picture better. Good work,  Chris 
....

Suggestion !!!

How about a live stream when the DevCon is running? Others can Enjoy 
realtime.. Perhpas even interact ?

I mean interact by email :-) or Altme !

Riechart monitored altme and forwarded questions at the first devcon

the discussion above is live while Gabriele tried out to stream. 
;) but did not work perfectly yet.

See Message 1230 in http://www.rebol.net/altweb/rebol3/chat159.html


Is that what you were referring to?   ("if only we could do this 
in rebol...")

izkata: would sampling mean an image per second or something? I don't 
think that would be very useful...

Well, I saw "live stream", and that demo can be hard to find, so 
I took a wild guess  ^_-

Gabriele I'm going to check what were the setting we used last year. 
Also, RAM helps with streaming, The laptop I used last yeard had 
1.5GB. I you are saving the stream to disk this slow transmission 
too.
