there is equipment that we are trying to release in public, which allows to have video conversation, it's something like video-telephone. when i use this equipment, and wireshark, i can capture traffic with a protocol ; H.263. and..G.722 , etc. and it also tells me about their video type(qcif, cif ...), codec, and bit-rate, picture type, etc.... but i cannot capture any of these things with msn messenger video conversation, is it b/c it's encrypted? all i see was just 'udp' protocol saying nothing.. is there anyway that i can see and analyze these things? I want to see their picture coding type(i-frame, p-frame), time for receiving each frame so i can calculate their frame rates, and so on... I also tryed with SKYPE, but i know that it uses their own codec, so there is no way to capture video frames, and analyze them. but as far as i know, msn messnger uses standard codec, so it can co-work with other messngers like yahoo or AOL.. I don't know whether you understand what i am trying to say, but i hope so.. cheers.. need help here.. plz tell me about other tools or some kind of dissectos that allow me to do these things.. > > Is there any way that i can capture video codec, or video traffic? > > > > some kind of frame rate or something.. > > > > I also tried with Skype, but i cannot find the way to do it.. > >You can capture *any* sort of network traffic with Wireshark. > >Whether Wireshark can *dissect* that traffic, and show it as anything >other than raw hex data, is another matter. > >And, even if it can dissect it, it won't display it as video. >Wireshark's a network analyzer, not a video player, although some >dissectors might support saving the contents of a video stream within >a capture in some video format, just as it can save some VoIP traffic >in an audio format. > >What *exactly* is it you're trying to do here? >_______________________________________________ >Wireshark-users mailing list >[email protected] >http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
