Together with the DebConf video team and others I've set up live streaming from several conferences over HTTP. This was done using the following software: - Streaming server: Icecast <http://www.icecast.org/> - Streaming client: oggshout <https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31156&release_id=991> - Format conversion: ffmpeg2theora <http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/> Icecast and ffmpeg2theora are included in many Linux distributions. The oggshout client is my own (trivial) invention; there are other compatible clients listed at <http://www.icecast.org/3rdparty.php>. This combination uses Ogg Theora+Vorbis video, which is supported within HTML 5 <video> elements in Firefox, Chrome and Opera browsers. For other browsers it would be necessary to provide a fallback: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theora#Browser_plugins>. Our video sources are normally DV cameras but webcams should also be usable with ffmpeg2theora. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
