Hi Paul,

I've seen the same issues, when streaming to a VLC client it works beautifully but when passing to Quicktime it looks horrid, I haven't yet found a solution unfortunately, tho I'm hoping by tweaking the x264 settings I'll get it working.

Currently stuck trying to get an Audio feed working with MPEG4, do you have an audio feed too, or just plain video, if you do would you mind sharing you VLC command, as I can't get it working with audio at all.

Thanks,

Tristan.

Howdy all,

For several weeks I have successfully streamed 
live video from a complex of little league fields
onto a world wide webpage. Don't ask for the address!

I use DSS 555 on Linux to serve the live streams.
I use VLC as my broadcast encoder software.
VLC announces the streams to DSS which then creates 
SDP files that the webpage references.

The setup works very well,
one day I may create a wiki ;-)

Currently I am streaming MPEG4, 
but I would like to stream H264.

Actually I can stream H264,
but the video that Quicktime 7.2 decodes
has lots and lots of artifacts.

Does anyone know the magic string of 
VLC/x264 transcode parameters that will
stream quality video for Quicktime 7.2?

Has anyone had the same problem as I have?

I searched many forums and have tried many 
different VLC/x264 settings, but I cannot
find a solution, or find someone who has
gotten this combination to work.

I'm sure many of you have the same issue.

Thanks,
Paul McWhorter
