How to get video streaming from USB webcam

**sanket.mehta** · 13th April 2011, 06:41

Hi everybody,

I Want to use my USB webcam to for video streaming in my application.
Is it possible to get this streaming using Qt? If yes then how?
I have search around phonon but it provides media facility like video and audio player.
It does not seems useful for video streaming from USB webcam.
Please guide me for this query..

Thanks in advance.

What protocols does your webcam support to provide this functionality?

Hi,
to strem frames of your camera over ip networks you can use ffmpeg. If you need more control you can considere using rtp/rtcp protocol like this one: http://www.live555.com/
I've used it in the past to stream mpg4 packets over the network with very good results.
Good luck.

p.s. sorry for my not so correct english

Sorry I think I didn't read well your post.
To simply render the frames of your usb camera you can considere using QtMultimediaKit
