Hi! I need to decode video files and store them as uncoded RGB files. Is there any way to do that?
I am aware of the huge sizes..
I'm using windowsXP and VLC 0.9.9

Both audio and video bitrates are already pretty low. Removing B-frames would reduce the delay quite a bit as well, but I can't find the how in the documentation.

Hi. I need to transmit a video stream having a delay as low as possible. I'm using MPEG4. How can I tell the transcoder not to use B frames or to use for example IPBPIPBPI....
Does anyone has got any ideas how could I reduce the delay further?

What do you mean? Under windows I am achieving very low frame rates (visibly obvious, but not measured), whatever the frames per second set in VLC. I tried reducing the screen resolution to 800*600(minimum) and scale the output to 0.5 but the result was always the same. The monitor refresh rate is s...

Well, the end result should include a (small) number of virtual machines, all of them streaming video using vlc, so I can't use the webcam solution in this case

Hi! I've been trying to capture the Desktop and stream it over wifi in real-time. The problem is that even when I play locally the captured video stream in real-time, playback is very choppy; playback seems to be around 2fps! Currently I'm using Windows XP; playback on Linux running on a VM is much ...

Thx! "screen://" was what I was looking for!

Hi! I would like to capture video from "What you see" on the desktop or from an application and stream it in real time (eg. playing a gaming and outputting the video elsewhere). Needless to say that the delay must be kept to a minimum. I just need some info to get me started. Thx in advanc...
