[Freeswitch-users] H264 transcoding

[yufei.tao]

Hi

I am trying to decide if it is feasible to let FS do transcoding between
different H264 formats for live video calls. This is because I've got
SIP clients that both use H264 but with different formats and one (with
a bad H264 decoder) has problems decoding H264 stream from the other.
But each of these two clients communicate fine using H264 with a third
client that uses ffmpeg. I'm thinking of adding a module which uses
ffmpeg, so that it will transcode H264 between different parameters.

I've got a few questions:

1. Is this feasible? I'm not looking at supporting many simultaneous calls.
2. What is involved in transcoding real-time video stream?
3. Anyone's done anything like this before?

I'm new to FS and any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
