In > September 2011 BSD Magazine you have some examples about that. I like vlc on Linux/Windows machines. But installing it to a streaming server is a pain. Even if you disable all options in "make config", it still tries to build scores of dependencies including some components of the X Window system. Not nice. Now I am experimenting with ffmpeg (with ffserver and without) with moderate success. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
