Streaming

[kaos_b79]

I am developing a streaming client. I have a few questions...

1.- What is the best media (codec & container file) to transport multimedia streaming?

2.- The bitrate is different for audio&video for each stream in a video file (ie: an .avi file). What is the total bitrate necesary to transmit/recive this file? I suposse it depends on the used codec... how is it in Xvid?

Thank u in advance. Regards

1. Develop your own codec, or implement a standard.
2. Dont think it is you who decides the bitrate, but more from your audience. Cell phone users have significat less bandwidths, an home user has lots more.
