Yeah it’d have to be FFMPEG.

I worked on something similar years ago https://github.com/pgodwin/68kTube – target was 68K/486 class machines – which pretty much meant Cinepak – and FFMPEG’s Cinepak encoder is s-l-o-w. So I used Quicktime’s encoder which worked fairly well.

Ideally, you’d do proper RTSP and set up a separate session for each stream so you don’t have to sit and wait for transcoding to complete….

I was fascinated as well! I would assume ffmpeg would be in there somewhere, along with yt-dlp?

I really need to setup RealServer. I know it came with UnixWare but I never tried to setup/use it. This might be a good excuse to do so!

You can find RealServer on the internet archive – it’s interesting to play with, that’s for sure! I’d love to try and get some proper pnm / rtsp links working and not just plain old http streams.
