Hi all!

I'm new to this forum, and also relatively new to Qt programming.

I'm developing (or trying to develop) a instant messaging program with webcam support (this is essential). It has to be multiplatform and be able to record and stream the video to another PC in the same network.

For now, I have working the chat part and the local webcam using the QCamera class from qt-mobility, but I don't know if this is the best way as it doesn't seem trivial how to stream it...

I'm thinking to use gstreamer, maybe with phonon? but I'm getting lost with all the libraries and with the best way to make it also multiplatform

Maybe I could try to launch gstreamer to record and stream the webcam, later with a "VideoPlayer" form phonon show the stream of both the local and the remote webcam... is this possible?

Do you know any example on how to use gstreamer?

I'm developing with QtCreator under linux, but it also has to work in windows...

Thanks!
