is it possible for me to build a video conference system where x264 (MPEG4 AVC/H.264 generally) used as video encoder? how to transmit x264 data packet? i have searched for RTP directshow filter and only found RTP directshow filter that worked on MPEG1 based video stream...

streaming data from video file I think it is not a problem, since I believe VLC can (or will) do that... but how about capturing video from camera, encode it using x264 (realtime) and transmit the data over TCP/IP network...

camera->capturing software able to stream data->stream to vlc(loop)->realtime encoding->re-streaming over the net

AFAIK vlc is only able to stream MPEG4 not to encode MPEG4, if somehow I build app. to encode RAW data then how do I send to VLC, how about the structure the data packet? since it's realtime data ...

thanks for help/info...

VLC can encode MPEG-4 (http://www.videolan.org/doc/videolan-howto/en/ch09.html), both ASP and AVC.

good to hear that, but...if I want to build app.that is based on directshow filter (that is encoding, streaming, capturing, decoding, demuxing all processed by directshow filer)...can u give me direction?
