[vlc] Re: streaming a webcam with vlc in real time

Go to mpeg ts, UDP multicast, mpeg whatever CODEC, you should be about 700
ms (also make sure you knock down the caches at the client end).
I've heard you can get to about 200 ms, possibly, with RTP.  Does anyone
have a good sample?  (mine is at work).

Subject: [vlc] streaming a webcam with vlc in real time

Hi all,

Is there a way of streaming webcam from Linux (using v4l compatible
webcam) without transcoding? I've been able to successfully stream
*with* transcoding, but there is a 1.5 - 2 second delay in the video, even
with all the caching at 0 on the client and server. I really need the video
to be real time however.

Thanks in advance,
--Dmitriy
