[Live-devel] frame-by-frame streaming of RAW images

[Calkins, David S]

What if I compressed the individual frames once I received them from the
framegrabber?  In what format would I need to provide them?  If I were
to compress individual video frames could I use the LIVE libraries to
stream these frames?  Adding compression is a possibility.

As far as providing an uncompressed payload format, perhaps the better
solution is the above, i.e. just compressing the frames?

No, not really - at least, not at present.  The IETF is currently 
standardizing a RTP payload format for "uncompressed video" (see 
<http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-avt-uncomp-video-06.txt>
), 
but the LIVE.COM code does not yet implement this.

(However, we would be willing to add support for this payload format
should 
your company be interested in providing funding for this.  If so, just
let 
me know (by separate email).)
