Do you have any Idea, how much bandwidth it takes to stream HDTV 1080i via VLC I am assuming a T1 would not be enough upstream, unless you can buffer with something like a 5 min lag.

If you had to packetize this and transmit over an IP network, you'd need about 70Mbs for uncompressed (or half an OC3), or about 6Mbs (ie, four T1's, or about a 20% of a full T3) compressed.

Apple's Darwin runs perfectly just with command-line (and has a Web-GUI, but that's not necessary for standard operation and configuration), but isn't compilable on AMD64 (because the programmers didn't think highly of portability when implementing it, i.e. assuming that a unsigned long is always 32-bit, and such), and I haven't tested whether it compiles on FreeBSD at all (all of our deployment boxes of Darwin are Linux-systems). Other than that, it's a pretty stable and mature streaming solution if you're willing to stream MP4 over RTSP (which on Windows requires QuickTime; MediaPlayer can't handle this out of the box).

Re: Audio / Video Streaming
If you're looking for on-demand streaming (each client connects and views a stream starting from the beginning) as opposed to live streaming (many clients join a single video/audio feed and stream from whatever live moment is currently playing from the source), as one author of the now-ubiquitous SHOUTcast streaming system allow me to wholeheartedly recommend apache for on-demand streams. Most client solutions support HTTP streams. If you need live video streaming (and by the sound of your note I don't believe you do) videolan.org has some very decent options. For live audio, my old projects at shoutcast.com live on, and icecast, while a product with a smaller client audience, has also proven itself to be excellent.

But, now I have to shift to FreeBSD-5.3 and I would still want to view these educational streaming videos. I know mplayer, xmms, kaboodle, etc. which are the multimedia players in FreeBSD/KDE environment. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to open streaming videos using FreeBSD-5.3 and KDE-3.xdesktop? I saw that the file extension is .wvx which is a Windows Media Audio/Video shortcut. Is there an application in FreeBSD that can open such audio/video format? mplayer can play Windows Media Player files. There's also a browser plugin for it in the ports called mplayerplug-in. Also, if I need to view real player format of streaming video, what program do I need to install in FreeBSD? Real doesn't offer binaries for FreeBSD. You'll have to install linux emulation and use the linux version of realplayer. The multimedia section of the handbook will give more details: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/multimedia.html Thank you very much! -Edwin -- -- Edwin D.
