I know. I'm using ffserver to stream my already recorded data. The
problem is that ffmpeg couldn't crop the TV data (it becomes all
green). And I want to use some mplayer filters, like bmovl, scale and
others.
You know if there is a way to mencoder stream to ffserver (Feed.ffm)
(or possibly record to .mpg and output the raw data to stdin?) ?


One more thing: what is the best format to stream? I tried AVI but it's
not possible to seek. I'm using mpeg1video by now 'cause I can seek in
the stream, but it's compression isn't the best one. Also I need to
encode 4 videos (4 cameras 640x480) at the same time (I have a Athlon
XP 1800+, 256mb RAM).
