[streaming] QoS features of vlc related to streaming

[Neil Miles (LA/ETH)]

Hi,

We are hoping to make use of vlc in demos to customers with our Ethernet DSL solution. I have a few questions about QoS aspects of vlc. I have only just started looking at streaming video technology so please forgive my ignorance ;)

I have looked through the forums and streaming HOWTO but haven't found a total answer to the following questions:

1) I am interested mainly in MPEG2/4 codecs with MPEG-TS. In the features part of the streaming web page(http://www.videolan.org/streaming/features.html) it seems to suggest that only RAW works with RTP (which is needed for QoS as far as I understand). Perhaps I misunderstand and that MPEG-TS can also encapsulate RTP, if this is true does vlc support this.

2) If the above is true will vlc client be able to recieve a MPEG2/4 stream and decode with QoS, ie not losing any information even if network is quite loaded?

3) I have noticed some discussion about Kasenna products such media base, can vlc interwork well with this product?

Before you ask this will definately only be a demo, not commercial product at present, if only due to the patent issues. I realize that Ericsson as a company is certainly for software patents at a corporate level, but we certainly do take part in Open source projects and use GPL code in some of our telecom server products and I personally of course support open source.

Thanks for any help
/Neil
