Greetings,

Somebody already seen this:
Videolan (http://www.videolan.org/), a open-source project that allows you
to "take in" a video-stream into a PC (from DVD, CDrom, a DVB-S card, a
DVB-T card, ...) and can stream it over a LAN, either in unicast or in
multicast.

Supports MPEG 1, MPEG 2, MPEG 4 and DIVX.


Includes viewer for a number of different OSs.


Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.

Yes, and made in France... just like my Sony VHS deck which has died on me today
;)

Well, with the recent craze of DVDs, it probably kind of lacked attention
anyway. ;-)


BTW. Have you actually tried videolan?

Hrm, it was mainly a nice digital clock, it automatically syned to Teletext so I
was never a 12 o'clock flasher *.

Yes, I've used it to play back PES files for a while.

If it's the model I'm thinking of and has gone totally dead, it's probably a
couple of the electrolytic capacitors in the primary of the switch mode
power supply which are contained on a panel inside a tin box, both of which
have to be removed from the printed circuit panel for replacement, however
if you've got any mates in the trade they'll probably sort it for a couple
of pints!

Yes, a case of switching off the ring-main to replace a socket and it never
coming back to life. Thanks for your info, I'll take a look.

Well, you can buy a DCF (or MFS) syncronised radio clock for almost
nothing nowdays; so just keeping a VCR to have a clock which doesn't need
changing twice a year, does sound like quite a bit of "overkill" if you
ask me. ;-)


Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
