I am currently looking to build a linux box that
will do the following:
Encode video from a capture card (maybe an ATI
all-in-wonder 128) Preferably, it would encode the captured video to a format
small enough to fit between 72 and 96 hours (more would be nice) of video
on the harddrive at any given time (so the smaller I can compress it, the
better.)
I also need to be able to display the video feed
onscreen while I encode it in real-time. Hopefully, I can then use a
remote access program of some sort to access view the video feed in real-time
from another location (via the internet).
If this isn't possible, the other solution could be
to use some sort of streaming video solution, provided that the access to said
stream could be protected.
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to get
me started. I've taken a look at KM, VideoLAN, and a number of other programs
that are out there, and while I have yet to actually build the machine and start
to test things out, I would like to get a fairly firm idea of the approach
I'm going to be using before I start to implement it. If you know of ANY
programs (preferably open-source!!!!) that would fit the above discription,
please reply along with the name and a link to the software's homepage so I can
properly research it.
Any comments or insights into alternative solutions
are also more than welcome.
