How to do live video streaming?

[Consultores Agropecuarios <consultores1@gmail.com>]

Hello

I have a Lenny amd64 Laptop; i have tested many server/feeder packages
(icecast, vlc, ffmpeg, ezstream, webcam-server, camorama, cheese,
peercast, geekcast, etc.) to transmit a conference on the internet to
aproximatelly 150 clients.

Does someone have done it?

Problems:
icecast can not connect to localhost and ask for a socket.
vlc can not connect to v4l://
ffmpeg can not recognize the input/output.

It looks like if icecast, vlc, and ffmpeg are the most appropiated.

Any help or advice are welcome.

thanks.
