Transcoding and streaming to Quicktime

[luisfego]

Ok guys, I have really surfed all the web and found anything.

Is it possible to stream to quicktime a .flv video (obviously transcoding it first)? If so, how do I open it in Quicktime? I think you have to stream it with RTP...

I've been using the following settings in the UI streaming settings and got nothing:

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=800,scale=1,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=rtp{dst=192.168.1.65,mux=mp4,port=1234,port-audio=1234,port-video=1234}}

Thanks in advance.

You can not do this in this way. Quicktime files are "hinted" and IMHO this doesnt work with vlc. You also should look at this: http://www.videolan.org/streaming-features.html

Thanks, I haven't seen that.
Well, it's a shame that VLC doesnt support streaming to Quicktime... Anyway, does anybody know of a program capable of doing this? I've read that Darwin Streaming Server, but I don't know if it can convert videos.

Thanks for your response.

VLC is capable of transcoding files that Quicktime can play. Last time I tried, problem was that Quicktime didn't quite understood vlc's rtsp-server replies, not the transcoding. But if you don't need to stream it realtime, you could just convert it to h264/aac/mp4 file, and Quicktime should be able to play it just fine.

Hinting files is only for to tell streaming server howto server said files (eg for dss).
