Hello, I have an http stream in MPEG1/2 Video (mpgv) Frame rate: 50 4000kb/s It's basically the output of a satellite receiver with various resolutions. 480/576 544/576 720/576 704/576 Anyway, I have a P4 1.6GHZ with 512M RAM and 1024kb UL speed... I have been trying to transcode and stream the signal to LAN, but my principal intention is to stream to Internet. I'm using these options in VLC which I found giving the best results. Code: :sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=650,fps=24,scale=0.5,acodec=mp3,ab=90,channels=1,samplerate=22050}:duplicate{dst=http{mux=ts,dst=:6666/},dst=display} :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep I would like to ask you for any suggestion about any improvements... I'm using Http because that's the only protocol I got running on Internet... I got RTSP on LAN running but with no luck on Internet... I'm doing NAT, so do you have any good experience with a particular protocol. I didn't see any difference with encapsulation methods, but I would be pleased to hear your word. Codecs: as you can see I'm using mp4 + mp3, the scale 0.5 is sufficient but could you propose other parameters? If I ever wanted to update the hardware what would be the priority, CPU or RAM... I know both are needed... Finally, I'm streaming from ubuntu 10.10 and any specific lightweight distribution is welcome... as well as any other program similar to VLC.
