[Live-devel] sreaming while progressively trascode .MOV to H.264

[Amila Perera]

Hi all,

This is my first mail on this thread.

I have a requirement to implement a streaming server that streams a .MOV
which contains H.264 encoded
video data.
When the client sends a request to play the media, the server should
'progressively transcode' the .MOV to
H.264 and stream it.
(example: transcode 500 frames from the .MOV file and stream that portion,
transcode the next 500 frames and stream that portion and so on)

I am quite new to this domain (encoding, rtsp/rtp server implementation
etc.).

I am just thinking of extracting few frames from .MOV at a time,
convert to H.264 by using ffmpeg and stream that portion using live555
library and to continue
the same procedure until I stream the entire media or the client presses
the stop button.

Following are the things that bother me.

   1. Can my requirement be accomplished by using live555 library alone
   (without using ffmpeg) ?
   2. Or am I completely going towards a different direction from my
   original requirement.

Thank you in advance.
