How to live stream webcam audio video together using udp port?

Question

Hi Devs,

i am developing an application in C# witch will be able to capture audio and video from webcam and MIC, then it will stream them together. I searched the www and found how to grab the webcam and audio using DirectShow.net. But now i can save them to hardisk as .avi file. How i can stream them together and again reproduce them to other PC?

Its almost like a P2P audio video chatting, so i think that i have to stream them using a specified UDP/TCP port. As a newbie i'm really confused what to do....

Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Try MPEG TS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG%5Ftransport%5Fstream

I am not exactly sure if I understand your problem correctly. I would recommend reading up on DirectShow filter graphs. Basically you have to implement a filter that does not transform the data, but sends it over the network. If you use unicast/multicast for that depends on your usecase. I do not have enough experience with that stuff to offer more specific advice, but hopefully this points you in the right direction
