[gst-devel] How do I optimize my encoding and streaming?

[Yuval Yohai]

Thanks very much,


Thanks to you I have understood some more things and it is working now 
much better. The CPU load is suspiciously low (65%), I would expect it 
to be higher. I will do some more tests regarding that.


My project is quiet big and I am now during my first steps so ... much 
more questions are due to come.


and the next one is ... how do I stream it so that it will be opened by 
VLC or windows media player. If I use:

... ffenc_flv ! udpsink port=5000


and then open the VLC for streaming at :  udp://localhost:5000


I would expect it to be shown yet I don't.


Any suggestions?


Thanks,

Regards
