Hello Ian, Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately, pre-rendering is really not an option. I need to render the video in response to user input, inputs coming from a few other nodes, and the state of the server itself (e.g. load) - basically a heap of information that I don't have earlier.
I'll have a closer look at ffmpeg and ffserver though... they might be going into the direction that I need. Or does anybody have an idea for a simpler method? Thanks a lot in advance, -Wojtek On Fri, 2006-12-01 at 20:28 +0000, Ian Thomas wrote: > Hi Wojtek, > Is pre-rendering really not an option? It'd be the simplest - take a > look at ffmpeg.
