streaming video?
 

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.

Install VLC media player. It enables Video streaming. to check your hardware compatibility satisfies or not ...see this link

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
