With more modern hardware > realtime *video* encoding (mpeg1 or mpeg4) is quite feasible. Since you seem to have a grasp of these numbers, let me ask this one: I've got two machines, A and B. B has enough oomph to capture real-time video - it's done it. B doesn't, or at least didn't when I tried using MS's software on it without tuning. However, the video feed of interest is tied to B. How much oomph does B need in order to get the bits to A to capture them? I don't need on-the-fly encoding, so I'll give it up to get good quality. Between them is a 100BaseT network and a switch. I can put a second ethernet card in B and move the link from A to that instead of the switch if required, but I don't think it's required. I'm already doing this with audio to play it on A with esound, just by doing "ssh -n B esdrec | esdcat" on A. Is there a similar tool for video? Well, a similar tool that will work with the ATI AIW? Or should I stick with H323 software on both ends? Thanx, http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
