The video encoder (see the instructions at the end of the email for building it)
grabs video from a video4linux2 device, encodes it (currently, to mpeg4 video;
the video encoder will allow to modify some settings in the future), and streams
it over RTP.
It can be started as
    streamer [<options>]
where the options allow to change the video capture device, the video size and
frame rate, the destination address, etc...

The SDP needed for receiving the video stream is saved in the "sdp.txt" file.


HOW TO BUILD:
The encoder and streamer is based on ffmpeg's libraries. So, first you have to download
and compile ffmpeg
    tar xvzf RTEncoder-v0.1.tgz
    cd RTEncoder-v0.1 
    svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
    cd ffmpeg
    ./configure; make
OR 

install deb packages libswscale-dev, libavformat-dev


Compile the streamer
    cd ..
    make FFDIR=ffmpeg
It should create a "streamer" executable.
