The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I want to encode a video-signal (composite) which is generated by a windows-application into MPEG2 so that it can be broadcasted over the network (via UDP or http) and received by a STB or whatsoever.

I saw, that MPEG encoder cards are supported with VLS under Linux - but how is it with windows ? Or could I go with VLC as well ?

I mean I don't want to use a another machine (running Linux) just for encoding purposes - or could I do realtime-encoding with windows in software?

Any idea what to do?

Thanks a lot

The latest version of VLC works with video capture devices in Windows. You'll be able to broadcast the video via transcoding it to some format.

I've used it with my Web Cam.
