Hi,

I've been looking all over the web and I also posted a question in another forum here, but I have a new perspective to the question:

The aim that I'm looking for is to be able to broadcast a video feed at virtually true real-time and in just about full motion. Now everyone says that this is impossible because the net 'was not designed for that'... however, now that VoIP has become very big, it is clear that time sensitive communication could work almost 100% fine!

So I'm back to square one: does anyone have any clue as to how I might be able to place a live webcam on a web page that would stream in just about full motion and really be 'real-time' (maybe 1/2 second delay at most)?? If it can be done with voice, why not with video?

Currently I have found two pieces of software that do this, but not at full motion. They both use Java Applets for the web page. The free one is called 'YAWCam' and is pretty good. The other one is not free so its just been a limited trial version (and it performs in some ways slightly better than YAWCam, but in other ways its not as good.)

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Larry

Earthcam at premium services $4.95 a month seems a cheap way out. Whatever compression the software uses allows video in real time. Since most cams capture in raw avi. Way to much data, for most upload speeds.
