Video conferencing with Television

Hi,
For my masters project I am supposed to implement a Video Conferencing
facility with H.323. I have decided to do it on a PC board using the
intel 810 STB reference architecture running on a linux kernel. Is
there an alternative and what could be the major issue when it comes
to implementing a video chat for a Television. Also is there a place
where I can get the source for H.264 codec. I am sorry for being
vague, but I wanted to keep the desc. short.
Also is there a support for any webcam with 4 CIF resolution (708 X
570) in Linux.
Thanks and regards,
Ravi.

 

FU's set to comp.dcom.videoconf

Source for a H.264 codec ? I doubt it, its too new and probably full of
licensing implications. But you could take a look at openh323.org and
packetizer.com to check.

I don't know but i would guess the answer is no. I have not seen any free
webcam s/w that can do that high a resolution, i believe the higher ones do
FCIF.
