VideoLAN Tutorial
March 15th, 2010Regarding marketing, I think this article could one day give me a hatred for teaching some dumbass to build online infomercials, but I assure you my motives are far less industrious.
If you are outside of North America, like me, you look at home on your favorite TV provider has been impossible. In fact, the year I thought I was just down with crap tv and download Limewire. Trailer Park Boys, Battlestar Gallactica, and Family Guy has been, I am happy to count on friendsSend me mail, after years on the air. Until now …
Have been toying with this day everyone, and I would say VLC (www.videolan.org) is one of the fattest "open source programs I've encountered in a while. Platform is universal support from Win32, * nix long dead, even BeOS . It 'also the people behind Google Video, in the case of a claim. VLC can stream video online, multicast, save inputs, and do all sorts of things that are just nice peoplewith a lot of money to be able to do – just open your TV station. The quality is fantastic and, of course, infinitely modifiable. Oh ya, and I said that's free? Ok I did, and then …
I tried VLC from a friend to get the power to my dish network in the United States, and it was very watchable. Remember, it was streaming from Seattle, WA in Bangkok, TH. 18 hops.
Streaming uses a video capture card
What you need:
–OS
– 1 video capture card
– Driver for video capture card (go to driversguide.com software drivers for video capture cards available)
– DirectX 9.0c
– VLC (please get the CVS version at night, a lot of good people working very hard on this software, and remember to donate to them if you can)
– A network
– Windows Media Player
– A lot of patience
Step 1
– Install Capture Card (I use all ATI WonderMap and had no problems)
– Install or update your DirectX (windowsupdate.com)
– Install VLC
Phase 2 of the NAT (using DHCP for home networks) / / DSL Router
– Go to your router and click on Port Forwarding
– Give the address of the server IP and port of VLC that you want for a shipment.
– The router must accept the setting and tell you everything is ok
Step 3
– Fire up VLC
– Go to File> Open Device Captue> VideoDevice List> Recharge .. (Wait a minute) on the standard toolbar and then you capture device driver (the one that came with the card)
– Now click Stream / Save> Settings
– Click on Play at the local and MMSH. Join your local IP address and port you want (for people using NAT thats 192.XXX you sent in your router earlier)
– Select the video codec video codec and select the format (I use WMV since I am using Windows Media Player), then a good bitratelike 192 or 128, then select the size of the picture in your player (1 – 2)
- Repeat the instructions above for audio
- One VERY IMPORTANT quality setting is TTL – Type 10 at a minimum. This tells VLC the number of routers your stream will probably go across.
- Click Ok and Click Ok again to start your stream
Step 4
- Open WMP and click on File > Open URL
- Type http://:9494
- Your video will take a bit to buffer but then you should see Your photos.
