Hi,
I am trying to grab a stream from an IP camera and to display the stream in a silverlight mediaelement without encoding it. the IP camera is already producing an MPegr4 video stream, but it is different then the Mpeg4 video stream that silverlight uses. What is the best way to go about getting the data from the stream and displaying directly in a silverlight player. I figure if I can get the stream there will be minimal if not any latency. Currently the camera supports an ActiveX control that has no latency thru the web when accessing the camera stream. I need same performance without the Active X control.
Thanks

Hello,
The problem is that the MediaElement supports H264 in a MP4 container. The IP cameras usually streams the video in a kind of RTSP/RTP streaming. The other issue to take care of is the H264 profile, but IP cameras supports Baseline Profile.
Probably you can use this product: http://streamcoders.com/products/silversuite.html
