Streaming AVI with MJPEG compression

[flanagann]

Hello!! This is my 1st message in the forum. I'll be working with VideoLan next months so for sure it won't be the last one

I'm trying to stream an AVI file captured from a TV card with MJPEG compression. Results in the client are crappy, as you can see in the picture. Sound it's not transmitted, don't know why.



As I read in the VideoLan wiki, MJPEG must be contained in a TS, OGG or ASF container format. I use TS since OGG and ASF don't work even in local tests and UDP protocol.

Command line string:
:sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1234}}

I'm a newbie so I don't really know whether I'm using the right container for the original video file or not, or if I have to use another protocol.

Any help is appreciated!

Regards

Any idea?

Try to mux it in AVI, works good for me. I am trying to save an AXIS camera to file (among other things).

My sout is:

file/avi:/tmp/tempo.mjpg

This is where I got the hint from- it's a good reference:

Not sure whether you can mux AVI as a UDP stream, though (I'm using RTP and mp4 for that).

Hi! Thanks for answering!! It's not a common thing on these forums

I've already solved it!! What I do is compressing MJPEG video to MPEG4 XVID using VirtualDub. I also compress audio to AC3. Streaming quality is quite good. I finally realised that MJPEG is a good format for capturing, but not for streaming
