Lawyer John Koenig on how people make money with Free Software 09 (2004)

Digital Tipping Point is a Free software-like project where the raw videos are code. You can assist by participating.

This was an example for ogv (ogg/theora video) taken from this site
I just show how simple can be to support the theora streaming , also the encoding and transmitting is very simple with vlc or other solutions

converting/streaming antena1live mms stream into an flv one
cvlc -vvv mms://82.76.253.22/Antena1Live:6465 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=FLV1,acodec=mp3,samplerate=44100,venc=ffmpeg{keyint=80,hurry-up,vt=80000}}:std{access=http,mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=0.0.0.0:1235/stream.flv}

building vlc nightly debian/ubuntu way

$sudo apt-get remove vlc vlc-nox libvlc0


$sudo apt-get install xulrunner libxul-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libsvga1-dev libxpm-dev libtwolame-dev libshout3-dev libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools libfaad2-dev libjack-dev libqt4-core

$sudo apt-get install devscripts

$dget -x http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/gutsy-i386/latest/vlc_0.9.0-svn20080130-0-0.dsc
$cd vlc-0.9.0-svn20080130-0/
$ debuild -i -us -uc -b
$ cd ..
$ dpkg -i vlc_0.9.0-svn20080130-0-0_amd64.deb libvlc1_0.9.0-svn20080130-0-0_amd64.deb libvlc1-dev_0.9.0-svn20080130-0-0_amd64.deb vlc-nox_0.9.0-svn20080130-0-0_amd64.deb

happy flv streaming

VLC Nightly binaries for ubuntu/debian

You can test them from repository or try to build the source

streaming composite video with vlc

one way to specify composite input is described in documentation for vlc streaming

http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-howto/en/ch08.html

here is how i encoded the stream

vlc -vvv --color v4l:/dev/video0:channel=1 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=3000,ab=256,venc=ffmpeg{keyint=80,hurry-up,vt=800000},deinterlace}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.0.207:1212}' --ttl 12

with mplayer you can play the composite input stream this way
mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:input=1 tv://
