[streaming] live streaming mpeg2 with PVR-150/250

[Igor Ybema]

Dear people,

In 2 weeks I need a good solution for a 2-way mpeg2-stream encoding and
decoding over LAN. This is for live-streaming a event from a remote location
to a television-control-room and back (so I need encoding and decoding at
both sides).

 

I'm looking at videolan to do the job but I've got some question:

 

-          Does videolan on windows work with the PVR-250 and use the
hardware mpeg2 encoding (as in linux)? Or is it only software encoding?

-          Does videolan work with the PVR-150 (designed for Mediacenter)
hardware encoding on linux and windows?

-          Can videolan put the decoding on a hardware decoding card (like
an Optibase) so I can use the video-out on that card?

-          Is it better to choose a PVR-350 (with encoding and decoding
support) and running 2 vlc's, one for encoding and one for decoding, on each
side?

 

Regards, Igor
