Question: Shouldn't video streaming be all about taking a stream from a
video source
(v4l device in linux), compress it in jpeg or jpeg2k, and send it with an
UDP connection?

I saw that video streaming was partially supported in vv, what protocol does
msn or yahoo uses?
Are they simply UDP packets?

By the way, did you make any list or web page, with all the issues you found
during the design of the
vv API?

Salvo.
