Re: [Motion-user] A flaky WiFi link, mjpeg-streamer & interframe compression thinking.

Hi Colin.

Seems I didn't make my original post clear enough.

I want to convert an MJPEG steam to an MPEG stream, transfer it over the
low speed link, then convert it back into MJPEG for motion to use.

Should be able to achieve some large compression ratios with the actual
camera feed image not changing a lot.

Cheers Bob
