Gurcharan, well, i did not know that DVTS can not run on the QuickBridge software , so what i want to do is just working with local multicast at the moment , and later we can see that issue.
for the purpose of testing i've constructed a standalone switch and connected both machines (sender and receiver) only on that switch to see if the problem is totally a network issue or not , and configured a venue server on one of them and connected to venue , then connected also the other machine which generated the DVTS video stream , and again the problem still there and the video is corrupted at the receiving side . so we can execlude any network-related problem. is there any other reason can cause this problem ? also did you try the enhanced vic (windows xp app) with accessgrid ?

Yes, definitely stay away from that. There are known problems both with DVTS (and H264) in the beta. Now that you've discovered that, I have to say I have never seen the kind of artifacts that you show us in your DVTS image. I'm connected to your sever now but I guess you must have turned off your stream. I will check it again later. Also, you should check trying to receive an external stream as well. If you go to the RIT Venue at https://vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8000/Venues/8cdd226521d429b68e7e8c0158a6a663 there should be several DVTS streams available. As John said in an earlier email, make sure multicast is working (there are independent ways to test that). But it looks like something in your machine or local network possibly. -gurcharan muhammad akl wrote: hi Gurcharan, John Firstly appreciated your help both , I think now the problem has taken another curve , i mean i've downgraded AccessGrid version from 3.2-Beta to AccessGrid 3.1 stable release ( also using the easyinstaller package) , and as i previously did , i've configured AccessGrid on the sender Pc to use the ExtendedVideoProducerService and again i can see my video signal fine without any problem Now at the receiver Pc , I've configured it to use the ExtendedVideoConsumerService and now it pops up the DVTS screen and I can see the stream sent by my sender pc , and did as Gurcharan said , that I clicked on each of those text lines and the DVTS window was brought up with the following problem within it : http://muhammad.akl.googlepages.com/19072009367.jpg As you can see the video is corrupted and is not clear , what can cause this problem ? my AccessGrid Server url is https://ag0.mans.edu.eg <https://ag0.mans.edu.eg/> <https://ag0.mans.edu.eg/> Our Bridge Name : Mansoura University Regards Muhammad On Sun, Jul 19, 2009 at 2:08 AM, John I.

Confirm you have multicast working... It’s not clear from you on the display (receiver) machine if DVTS is starting, if you’re getting errors, etc. Is it starting but not showing anything? Can you confirm the multicast addresses involved? Are you getting “video” but it’s black for example? Thanks, John Q. -- John I.
