now as he is not a specialist  he can't tell me if  it's ubuntu suport 
the sound properly or the intenal webcam

to share audio and video we need 3 things 1) the shoutcast server 
(configured properly but this not the most enoyant part)  www.shoutcast.com/ 
 2) the NSV Tools that is used to share video stream from the webcam 
(use the VP3 encoder for video) and from the  microphone   (MP3 Lame 
encoder)  3) client use winamp software to see and listen the intervention 
in the conference ;)

for a windows based OS  you can use Shoutcast to broadcast audio/video 
streaming and the NSV TOOLS doftware to set up the audiovideo formats 
for the acquisition from you webcam and audio consol. The point is 
that shoutcast audio / video quality is far better than Quicktime 
... higher resolution higher depth lesser bandwidth used (audio = 
mp3 video = null software video format)

vlc can also stream video, but I don't know if it can grab from a 
webcam

heh, great - why not to have virtual rebol conference then? Everybody 
will buy their drink, install webcam in their room, we can code some 
nice View app for that :-)

Shame about no feed from Italy ...


Petr .... webcam in Rebol may be a bit ambitious .... we cant even 
get access to real time sound. !

can someone with a camand flash installed, confirm if this example 
work please?

anyone are taxed, even businesses and also if you run an internet 
connection to a bikeshed for a webcam.

Someone send Carl a webcam, please! ;-)

Just to be clear, I'm lamenting the time Doc needs to waste.  


For example, I moved my WebCAm from one USB port on my PC to another 
on the same PC.  This apparently made Windows think it needed to 
reload the entire installer for the drivers..............................something 
like 50 megs, plus about 15 minutes.  WTF!?!


Earlier today I wanted to VNC into an office.  2 hours, and several 
IT people, and it was 5 seconds per frame update.  WTF!?!

I'm tired of working out simple problems over and over again…

I saw the isight on day one, attached to a macbook pro, sitting about 
half a meter to the left of the webcam.

Hi Paul - yes, I've been lurking via html :)  Off topic:  I dabbled 
a bit with the Windows API and have a simple working webcam viewer, 
and also a working remote video client that produces usable video 
from simple image refreshes.  I need to explore the audio api to 
understand how to capture and pass audio frames across the net - 
I've got plenty of code from other languages - just need  to convert 
all those api calls to Rebol and see if there are any performance 
issues, but I suspect that a very simple point-to-point app like 
that could work in Rebol2.  To make it practical for real use, there'd 
need to be a little server/repeater app to pass data back and forth 
between clients that are behind routers.  Not so crazy difficult, 
I don't think...

uh, got Vista reinstalled last week, need to set-up my webcam once 
again, Skype too .... damned Windows ... so much wasting my time 
...

I'd like to pay someone to help me write a videoconference application 
in R2.  I've got a little VOIP script already working at http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=intercom.r
.  Using the Windows MCI API that I knew, that simply writes a wav 
file to a file, and then transfers it.  I need a Windows/REBOL guru 
to help me continuously retrieve wave data in memory, to avoid gaps 
and delays in the sound.  Same thing with video.  My webcam script 
can only write images to a file - I need to have some Windows API 
code written to do it all in memory, without the delays associated 
with writing to a file.

Amount:  Please suggest an estimated amount

Right, you need a webcam. We'll organize another short online meeting 
in October, if you have some questions for Red/Topaz, we'll be glad 
to answer them.

I clicked, but have no webcam and don't have Google voice set up. 
I will try to prepare for the next one.

Graham: you have 24h to find a webcam. :-)

Me to: I got a message in Italian saying that I can't join the chat 
without a video camera

But I have webcam on .. I just logined to google + to see this thing 
..

IIRC, there's a Google Hangout browser plugin to download to enable 
the webcam.
