streaming video through modem to modem...

[dwiest]

Hi...

Can anyone tell me (from scratch as I've not done this before) how I can stream live through modem-to-modem connection. The modem here refers to dial-up modem (PSTN modem), there is no internet/lan involved.

It will be 2 programs, the first is to transmit real-time video from webcam, and the second is to remote video from the first.

Sorry for bad english..i'm from indonesia instead

er... i mean you could use MSN as an alternative, just have 2 accounts, one logged in at "server" and one at "client" and have a video stream going. What you want requires alot, first to actually figure out how to record the video and "save" it then send it over, i know winsock is incapable of this. Maybe a TCP Client can send better? im not entirely sure. But this is way above me. OH. skype works well.

i had googling all day and found similiar program with that at digi-watcher.com, i guess is build with c++...
can vb.net make a program like that?

Do you have to do it in vb.net... if i was you, id just use a program that already has it... I havent really tried messing with webcams in vb.net seeing as i dont have one, youd have to check its plugged in. how to record it then send it over. you should really just use MSN / SKYPE / or just google when like you did. but like i said before, this is way above my coding abilities. Someone else is going to have to help you on this that is more experienced then i am.

actually this is for my school project, so i must build the program by my self..
btw, thank vo ur kind help..

The only thing i can really say is winsock wont work, so youre going to have to use TCP client or some other connection protocol. If i had a webcam i attempt this, but sadly i dont. I wish you good luck.
