Now that seems to have real possibilities - the end system needs to be fairly user
friendly however in the creation of images on the server and the administration of
the system.

Will read the docs and let the list know how we go.

[SLUG] Video Servers

2003-10-14 Thread Simon Bryan
Hi all,
I have been asked to research Video Servers for our school. The aim is to store the
Video / DVD on a hard disc and then deliver the video from there to the desktop /
TV.

There are a number of Windows based systems, I was wondering if anyone knew of an
Open Source solution?

You could try vls/vlc, from what I have tested it works pretty well.
the only problem I see is that the client can not truly interact with
the server. ie: if you have a DVD playing on the server the client side
cannot stop, fast forward, rewind. Other than that it will deliver video
output to Linux and windows.

You could rip it as a .mpeg/avi file using various applications.
