I am afraid, VideoLan VLC just banned WiFi camera > Wireshark tcp dissect, data assembly > video player project, since some conversion libraries in use could not be open-source

Postby Jean-Baptiste Kempf » 09 Jan 2009 10:33 Posting about conversion software is now completly forbidden.

The only exceptions are open source software as FFmpeg, x264 or VLC.

Any post about that will be deleted, the account banned and the username deleted.
