Over the past few weeks I've been trying to find a streaming technology which is able to stream video with a low delay time between capture at one end, and viewing at the other end. I know this is possible as the MSN Messanger and other messanger services can stream in pretty much real time (<1 second). So far the fastest one has been Java's implementation of video streaming in the JMF which is about 0.5 secs, but the compression techniques it uses suck, such as it does H263 but I can't find a way to improve the quality, and it does MJPEG but that uses over 1MBit/sec - I had to actually code this in Java from an example (luckily I am a software programmer for my job!). Real Encoder came in at 3 secs (after some tinkering with the settings), and had the best quality, and WMP Encoder was 14 secs!! with slightly less quality.
I'm looking for <1 sec delay, OK video quality at about 512k/sec, and needs to be able to be shown in a browser window.
If anyone has any ideas/experience with LIVE video streaming, please let me know what you advise.
