Another way you can do it is using bttvgrab. This app comes with a
sample script and html page to stream grabbed images to a web page. I
think it just dumps pnm files, or maybe jpeg, which get pushed onto the
client. really simple, and totally inadequate if you want to use
something like mpeg. But it's easy to set up, and you can get really
high framerate over ethernet. It might suck on lower speed connections,
though.
google says the url is
http://ich.bin.kein.hoschi.de/bttvgrab/
but that server is refusing my connection right now.

Camserv uses progressive jpeg when connected to Netcape browsers. This is to
my observation a superior solution, impaticularly when you consider that it
covers all of the platforms. Interestingly enough, this image format has the
lowest cpu overhead for the webserver (by a large amount).

I'm looking for a way to stream video to windows/mac clients through a web
browser with a reasonable refresh speed (i.e. 1+ fps if possible)--but I'd
prefer that users don't have to download anything -- OR something that
requires RealPlayer, Quicktime Player or Windoze MP.
I've tried ffmpeg/ffserver, but could not get that to actually stream
anything to a windows client (and subsequent posts, emails seem to confirm
that I'm one of many). I've tried some of the tools from the mpeg4ip
project, but mpeg-4 is not standard enough yet to be supported in most
players.
Is there something else out there I should/could try? I'm happy to try a
bit of coding to get this to work, but I unfortunately don't have tons of
time. Seems like some webcam apps might work I suppose as well. I'm
running RedHat 7.2, using a bttv card, v4l, etc.
Thanks,
