Hi,

Does anyone know of any good documentation or resources on creating a video chat/conferencing system using c# or c++? I have looked at a number of sites, but could you find any free or fee-based references,

Thanks,

John

Welcome - you are bound for failure.

I spend around a year of time developing a video conferencing solution with a small team for a customer, and we are FAR from done. You have to handle a ton of different stuff. The documentation is out there - start with DirectShow (stream handling) and the RTP RFC's. Oh, and there are H.323 references available - they cost a little, but they are there.

Please let me know incase you got some references. In whole world of .NEt i cant find a good link to do video handling.

Thanks

Manoj

Well, start with reading the standards (SIP, RTP, RTPS, H323) and learn DirectShow from C++.

I went thru ur comments and suggestion on video conferencing using C#. Infact i'm also looking for some references for developing a video conferencing application using ASP.NET.

Is there any tools/third party tools are available to implement this functionality?

Please help me out in this.

Thanks

::Infact i'm also looking for some references for developing a video conferencing application
::using ASP.NET.

Technicall impsollible. ASP.NET is about turning over web pages or serving files. YOu dont seriously want to run videoconferencing ina HTML page with self refresh and a new image every time?

EVERY video conferencing solution has to run on the CLIENT. And with hugh rights (access to hardware - camera and microphone). ASP.NET could be used to turn out a page hosting such a control (as could static HTML), but this is all.

Use ASP.NET what is was done for.

::Is there any tools/third party tools are available to implement this functionality?

Netmeeting can be integrated in HTML pages, which is H.323 based.´(which most routers dont support). On XP the RTC framework could be used to write a control that you can host on a pag. WOuld be SIP based (which most routers dont support either, but then it has UPNP, and there some step in).

 can any one do help in this regard I am also struggling for this kind of requirement since man days.

I need to transfer live video on the internet and record that in parallel in the web forum

 

 hey all,

i have been working on applying video conferencing in asp.net for a long time and this really makes my hairs pull off from my head.

and i just came up with a solution that u have to use Flash Media server with ASP.NET in accordance  with the Flash Action scripting for detecting the camera and all that stuff .

i have done with it ...and recently i posed it with the code.

 

dear sir,

i am working with video conferencing project since 4 months i didnt get the correct result. My requirement is that i want to capture video from web cam and to arrange video conference between memebers through asp.net with c# and backend as SQL Server 2005.

If it is possible kindly send me the code or any small application on video capturing and video conference to my mail id  gumma_rao@yahoo.co.in

 Please send me reply

 

Thanks

 

 

ya u can use ASP.NET AND SQL SERVER 2005 for the video conference...as i am already using it....

what i did was that...i am using FMS(Flash media server ) fro it for real time application....using web cam and head phones with it make it easy with the adobe flash player.and then you can capture the videos for the real time applications u want...or liek what v did in chatting (webcam sharing)

After a couple of hours googling I got the following link:_

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/Video_Voice_Conferencing.aspx

But, I don't know how to implement this. Can anyone tell me whether  I need any hardware to do it other than camera?

mohanish if u dont mind can u give any example or tutorial how u do this?using asp.net  as u said u did it please
