I want to live stream images I receive from a third party service to a HTML5 video. Looks like the best option is to encode the images in the theora format.

Anyone knows a good theora encoder for c#

    "Good" video encoders usually imply "fast." As such, they're unlikely to be packaged as managed-code components, especially the open source ones. It is very likely that your solution includes a separate process running ffmpeg2theora, controlled by your c# app. – O. Jones Sep 14 '11 at 01:37
  • On a side note - you might need to encode in different formats - as not all browsers support the same format yet.... (The latest realses might - but most users aren't on the latest version (ie6...) FF: OGV CHROME: WEBM/MP4 SAFARI: MP4 (I think) IE:MP4 – Stuart.Sklinar Oct 03 '11 at 09:07
  • It does not need to be a managed code API, I can invoke from C# But it cant be a executeable, the third party sertvice sends me images 15 times per second so the C# web server needs to decode this on the fly and output to the html5 video stream – Anders Oct 04 '11 at 14:29
