Sorry for double question but:You said something about change-ing the cacheing value... how do I do that? Both for vlc and ffmpeg?
I don't know of any caching value in ffmpeg, I think it writes to the ffm file as fast as it can. In vlc you can add caching control from the command line, see: http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help
The commands are things like --sout-rtp-caching=<milliseconds> but the exact one you will want would depend on what stream output module you are using. (rtp, http, etc.)
If you're using the streaming gui wizard thing, then the option is there under advanced options or some such, bt of course you can add command line stuff in the gui anyway.
I seem to recall that there is also a DirectShow cacjing value somewhere in the gui, too. You might want to dial that down as well.
As far as discovering the format of your webcam stream, you could open the device for playing in vlc and then choose codec information and/or statistics from the menu.
Two other silly suggestions come to mind. I notice that in your ffserver.conf file you have two machines listed in the ACL for the feed. I would try commenting out the ACL line. It's suspicious that you can access a feed from localhost but not from a remote host, isn't it?
The other is what version of ffmpeg/ffserver are you using. I had to use a fairly recent version (from ubuntu 10.04 and later from the lucid-bleed repository). The version in Ubuntu 8.04 didn't work right at all for me. If you're using something 0.5 ish you probably should change and it might be worthwhile to roll your own, there's lots of tutorials available on that.
