Hi folks, I need to transmit webcam images over a very low bandwidth connection (at most 100kbit/s) and therefore want to directly get the compressed image from the pwc driver, transmit this and decompress it at the remote end.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to find much documentation, although I'm pretty sure that I read something about this maybe 2 years ago. Right now, all I have is a link to a (now outdated?) small program that just grabs the raw stream: http://lists.saillard.org/pipermail/pwc/attachments/20050426/c1069c26/pwcgrab.c and some decompression(?) routines in the 'libpwc'-package on the webpage. I did not find any further documentation about these programs. So, I'd like to ask whether anyone has already done remote decompression and could give me some pointers or (of course even better :) ) code... In any case, am I going into the right direction if I start playing around with the code I found? Also, does anyone know how high the compression factor of the built-in algorithm is? thanks in advance for any suggestions! cheers, tim _______________________________________________ pwc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.saillard.org/mailman/listinfo/pwc
