Hi, so my question is what kind of software can I use to run on Linux to stream 640x480 video feed if I only have 1 megabit of bandwidth. The reason I'm asking is because I'm working on a project to build a UAV, and we decided it would be best to stream video back from the plane and do image processing on the ground, rather than having a heavy and powerful computer onboard the airplane (here's a thread with some more info about our UAV). We plan on using this for our wireless link, it has great range, but only ~1 megabit of throughput. We plan on having a 400MHz Gumstix on the airplane to do the encoding of the video, and it would then pass it back through the wireless link to the ground station. And in case you're wondering why we aren't using 802.1 a/b/g, it's because we need a max range of 7 miles.
So does anybody have any ideas for what we could use to do this? I thought about using a Slingbox AV to simply do the encoding, but that seems like overkill. Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
