I'm wondering if is it possible to compress the video stream using .NET (C#).
I have a video on the web server and I want to compress and broadcast it to the client's app. The client's app will decompress that stream and then show the video.

3Video files are already compressed, You can at most change the codec or bitrate of it(which would mean a great CPU load). – L.B Apr 02 '12 at 18:26

3@L.B Videos are not compressed by definition, they just happen to have some form of compression more often than not. – casperOne Apr 02 '12 at 18:56

@casperOne Of course. But how many times have you seen a video file with a *raw* format. I'd just wanted to write a short comment. Did you expect a whole blog about video formats,compression etc. – L.B Apr 02 '12 at 19:29

3@L.B No, but I wanted the comment to be *correct* =) I don't know what kind of video Tony is working with, but it's not uncommon to work with feeds of uncompressed data in real time (but you'd usually want a hardware solution then). – casperOne Apr 02 '12 at 19:36

@casperOne I worked in that area, and even by using the HW solutions, working with uncompressed data is not common. – L.B Apr 02 '12 at 19:55

@casperOne I've edited the question and now it's understandable and "a real question". And I'd like to see the answer. Can it be reopened?? – Searush Nov 27 '12 at 18:58

@SEARAS There's nowhere nearly enough information to answer this question. There's no information about codecs, how the clients are connecting, etc. It's *way* too broad. – casperOne Nov 27 '12 at 19:00

@Tony, now it's your turn. Tell video codec name (mpeg,avi...) and streaming protocol (such as rtp://, mms://...). If you don't need this topic anymore, plz let me modify this question for my needs =) – Searush Nov 27 '12 at 19:08

@SEARAS If you have a question that's better, and specific to your needs, better to ask it yourself. – casperOne Nov 27 '12 at 20:46
