This was a live real-time stream from a camera by my computers, with sound. It worked fairly well, though as shaky as other file-based streams have been.
Equipment in use: Second computer - 1.7G Celeron with video capture card, RH Fedora core 2.0, mp4live encode/streaming software (See sourceforge MPEG4IP project). Codec was the default H261 set at 160x120 15fps, 50k for video, Sound mono 8k rate AAC. Actual stream rate is more like 150k. H261 is a poor codec for this - but its what I have to hand to run that will work with QuickTime. The stream is fed via a 3rd computer, Darwin Streaming Server (RH Linux 7.3) on a remote site, with a 1Mb/s net connection, so can serve about 6 connections - the demo probably maxed it out, explaining some of the jumpyness.
My thanks to the good Dr. for setting up and running the Video Player object.
And Kudos to the LL gang for getting streaming video textures to work!
Fremont Cunningham.
