Hi, Could anyone shed light upon how to capture a live video which is on a desktop and integrate the same to my iphone, so that i can view same live video on my iphone. I am stuck as to where to start. If anyone could give technical info would be greatly helpful.
thanks in advance
The new QuickTime X in Snow Leopard has support for a new feature called HTTP Live Streaming, which works with clients including the iPhone. There are several examples in the ADC of how to capture from the screen. You would then need to run it through a compressor (most likely H.264) and use a web server (such as the built-in Apache) to distribute the content over the network.
Hi Zach,
Please pardon the plug of my employer's own product.
You can stream live from your screen to the iPhone using the free trial of Wirecast (download from Telestream.net) coupled with Wowza 2 Advanced (request an eval license at http://www.wowzamedia.com/advanced ).
Other screen grabbers like JScrCap may be used with the Wowza Media Server (check the detailed instructions for this in our user forums).
Hope this helps.
Yours,
