popular video compression + streaming server combination? open original image

We have a video camera connected to a computer at a remote facility. We'd like to compress streaming video there, and have it transmit to a server at our main facility running a reflector, so that we can stream it to the public over the Internet as a part of our website. Right now we're trying to use VLC

as the compressor and Darwin Streaming Server as the reflector, but are having a terrible time making them talk to each other. Can you recommend a set of software suitable for what we're trying to do? Any OS is fine.



Thanks.

There is a version of ffmpeg that does that (Linux, but possibly MS windows too). I had it set up, and it worked, but cannot remember exactly how I did it. One version worked, the other did not... Maybe newer versions work. You have a choice of formats, rm wmv ...etc.. Not sure that is a solution in your case.

Check out this company.

Try the open source version of the Helix Server and Helix producer if you do not mind the video being in the real format.
