streaming video?

FreakboY · 12-07-2009, 09:51 PM

i would like to stream video from a dvr card with 8 or 16 inputs. each input independent from each other... so i will have the server streaming 8(or 16) cameras (i would like to leave space for other 8 or 16 more cameras in the future to add). i would like to know what card to buy and which software to use for the streaming? must support slackware and hardware H.264 compression.

thank you.

i don't believe that VLC will stream video... it plays video streams... but it does not stream video... two different things here...

please correct me if i am wrong.

Do you know about ICECAST ??

icecast is free server software for streaming multimedia.

have you tried this ?

my understanding is that icecast is for audio only... isn't?

I googled for you from that day. I got some streaming softwares like "MuSE, M3W, icecast".

I think Icecast programmers are trying to release their next release with video streaming. presently mp3,ogg formats can be streamed
