Hi,
? ? I have a small requirement, I'd like to set up a video stream in
my school, from one room to another. It doesn't need to be streaming
technically, as it'll be only a short-term arrangement, for the
culturals.
Interestingly this is no small thing but it is doable with your technical
knowledge.
? ? I thought of using X over SSH and using cheese to get the video
out-put from the webcam. Alternately I though of using VNC, but i
don't know if it'd be feasible to transfer video output through VNC.
Any comments/ suggestions are welcome. :-)
No, Just X over LAN will itself not work; with ssh it will definitely not work.
If you want video multicast over LAN you can try RTSP protocol.
You can look at live555.

Even though it is a .com domain it is 100% free.
I have programming experience but no practical experience with video multicast.
HTTP streaming is also a good option for this.
As to using VNC it is a great idea but VLC is better. ;)
