<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>Good question, pretty
common.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>Check the new VLC
Streaming guide, available on the documentation page of VLC.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>Basically, going over the
Internet you need to use point-to-point connections (there is a thing called
multicast, but that is not available to many people).</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>At your side, do you have
a router or some similar device that sits between you and the Internet? If
it does, you want to go into your router configuration software and turn on
Network Address Translation (NAT), so that an incoming connection request from
your friend reaches the router's Internet-side IP address, and the router
forwards the connection to your own PC.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>For example, in my case I
just like to stream video, no audio, from a web camera. I go into my
router's Web browser configuration utility, into the Advanced section, and
select NAT. I add an entry to NAT, telling the router to forward any
incoming TCP connection on port 1234 to my_PC_IP_address port 1234.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>Now, launch VLC on the PC, tell it to set up
an mmsh stream. Give it 127.0.0.1 as the address, port 1234. Set the
Encapsulation method to ASF. Use Transcoding, set the Video codec to
DIV3. Make sure that the video bitrate is small enough so that the video
will make it over your ISP connection; in my case, I have a cable connection, 2
Mbps down, but only 384 kbps up, so I need to make sure that the total of video
bitrate and audio (if I used it) is less than 384K.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>An example, that I use with Windows,
is:</SPAN></DIV>

:dshow-adev="none" :no-dshow-config :dshow-size="320x240"

<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>--connection with my compusa
camera</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>-no audio </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>-dshow-size = something supported by my Web
camera</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>-DIV3 video CODEC, with a video bitrate of
128 kbps (approximately)</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>-make it available via mmsh</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>-url=:1234 is equivalent to saying
127.0.0.1:1234</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>-sout-transcode-fps=5 means only try to
output 5 frames per second. This is not strictly needed, especially for
"only" 320x240 video, but is handy if you have a higher-resolution source camera
(640x480)</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=049121900-01022005>My friend would then connect to me
