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.

If you want video multicast over LAN you can try RTSP protocol. You can look at live555. http://www.live555.com/ 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. ;) -Girish -- G3 Tech Networking appliance company web: http://g3tech.in mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
