[Live-devel] Couple of questions

[Neil Alexander]

Hello All,

I am implementing this on OSX, and all the test programs and such that 
I have tested work fine. In the course of preparing to use the library, 
a couple of issues came up.

1) The source of my media is the Sequence Grabber (QT), and therefore I 
am subclassing the FrameSource with a variation of the DeviceSource 
sample. But no where does it have what the format of the frame is. For 
example, my source is a PixelMap which is ARGB. How does the sink know 
what to do?
2) Do I have to supply my frames already compressed? I am planning to 
use H263, and I CAN supply frames after compression. Is this what is 
expected?

I'm pretty sure of the answer: yes they are compressed already and it's 
just a byte stream to the RTP Encoder. I just wanted to verify this 
before embarking on a fool's errand. Also, any other tips for this kind 
of thing would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Neil Alexander
