Hi, I'm trying to build a Linux realtime videoserver (only video, audio isn't needed!) for streaming presentations in a network and on a beamer, which is connected to the computer with the kfir board. The kfir-board works fine and quality is good enough, but there is a delay of about 1-2 second(s) when i stream the video on the monitor out (I'm using vls and vlc on the same system, vls to stream through local loopback and vlc to view the streamed video.). Now, i red in the mailinglist that there is perhaps a chance to edit/change the MPEG2 default stream which is composed as I BB P BB P BB P BB P BB (from the FAQ), to a stream with less latency so that the encoder and furthermore the decoder can de- or encode the video faster and does not need to cache some frames before processing the video to put it on the screen. So, can i change the "mpgbufsize"-variable or something like "KFIR_IPBB*" in kfir.c for example to change the encoding stream (so that every frame is captured and compressed for its own and there is no buffer needed for de- or encoding)???
Much thanks for your attention and help!! Andreas Krings PS: Please tell me, if I'm wrong, i do not know very much about mpeg2 compression at this moment and so there could be errors in my ideas! ;-)
