Hi

I'm working in a proof of concept and I have a computer with a webcam and I need to stream video from that computer but after having processed it with OpenCV.

I have an application that reads the video and draw rectangles above detected faces, and I need to stream that output (the video with the detected faces) to the network.

I haven't found a direct way of doing this. I'd like the video to be encoded in mp4 or something that's rendered in HTML5 but I can transcode it if it's in a different format.

Can you give me some guidance?

Platform: OS X / Python

Thanks in advance

I think there is one more thing you can do about this. You can use the 'appsrc' element in GStreamer to do this. I haven't tried it out myself. But I just know its possible. Check it out if you are still exploring. :)

I will take a look at that since I'm now looking for a performant (not a word, sorry) way of streaming a video in a format that's suitable for all modern browsers (IE doesn't render mjpeg streams).
