All things related to multicast

["Richard Mavrogeanes" <>]

Or here it is in a page:
http://vbrick.net/player/wm1.php?url=http://vbrick.net/video/inga1.nsc&t
itle=Inaguration

I mistyped the direct link previously.  Here is the correction:

http://vbrick.net/video.inag1.nsc


This is "the peoples Inauguration" event.  I'll move the link over to
the pool feed on Tuesday if I can...


Note that I've engaged multicast rollover, allowing you to get the feed
via unicast if the multicast fails (which it commonly does because of
local campus restrictions).

You can give this a go:

http://vbrick.net/video.inag1.nsc

This is live video from a ball in Washington right now, sent via unicast
to a multicast reflector that sends it on 233.88.251.230

Not at all!  I'll put up a WM m/c stream for the event and let this
group know when it's available...

Dan,

We are trying to broadcast the video so that it can be viewed by Windows
Media Player clients.  I can get this to work using my Unicast IP
address, but when I change to a multicast address the functionality
ceases.  Both machines are on the same subnet so there are no routing
issues to worry about (yet!)

I am using MMSH as my transport, ASF/WMV encapsulation and MP3 for
audio. 

Any ideas?  Is MMS:// restricted to unicast functionality?

Thanks,

Daniel

VLC   http://www.videolan.org/  can do some amazing things.  It 
definitely can take video from a capture card and stream it out in 
multicast as well as a bunch of other ways.
