View source for QuickTime

[[QuickTime]] Player is developed by [[Apple]] and is the default player on any Mac OS system. There is also a version available for [[Windows]]. It is a pretty nice player with all the basic functions for playing and streaming in place. It is very extendible by use of plugins.

==A sample of how to stream from v4l source to quicktime player==
The command I use is the following:

 vlc -vvv --intf dummy v4l:/dev/video0:norm=pal:frequency=37525:size=720x576:channel=0:adev=/dev/sound/audio:audio=0                 
 --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp4a, vcodec=mp4v,vb=2000,ab=128,vt=800000,keyint=80}:rtp{dst=239.2.12.42,port=1234,
 sdp=http:/myserver.dot.com:8082/tv.sdp}'


You need vlc and ffmpeg compiled with faad2 library. I have tested it with vlc-0.7.2 on both side client and server on linux and quicktime player on windows machines.

As usual have a look at the VLC-Streaming-Howto to know the meaning of each parameter.
