Hi,
I'm planning to make a video server application, and would like to get some
question answered before I start the actual work. I will first explain how the
application should work, and then the questions.
The application will be a server in which a client can stream video from over a
LAN. It must be in such a way, that it is possible to experiment with different
video codecs and different settings of those. It should also be possible to
experiment with individual video coding methods (such as for example
DCT-transform only, VLC-coding only etc.). In this way I hope to find a
spesific video compression method that is well suited for a spesific type of
video. The video is composed of data from a subsea sonar. It will run on a PC
with Windows XP, and I will use Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition for
development. I realize that the application will perhaps need to be split in
two, one for the video-coding, and one for the server-specific purposes. And an
adequate interface between the two.
I'm rather new to this kind of programming, but I have the basic knowledge in
networks-theory, TCP/IP socket programming, videocompression and C/C++. My
questions are :
* Will you recommend live555 code as a starting platform for this kind of
application?
* Has there already been made similar applications for these kinds of
experimenting? If yes, where can i learn about these?
* Is there perhaps some resources regarding live555 you recommend I look at
before working with the code?
And if there are any questions you think I SHOULD be asking regarding this
spesific type of application, but hasn't, feel free to answer them anyway =)
regards
Stian Broen
