Live Fast Start Server for QuickTime 3
This is based on OTSimpleServerHTTP 1.2d1, but it's been seriously modified, incorporating code from HackTV as well.
It does not use QuickTime Streaming or any new QuickTime 4 technology. It is an HTTP server that delivers a fast-start movie from a movie atom (from in a resource) concatenated with a sequence of video frames captured live from some video input source and compressed as JPEGs. Frames are transmitted as soon as they are captured. The usual problem with this would be that the movie atom needs to define where in the data stream every video frame is, and usually video frames are all compressed to random sizes. The hack here is to round up every video frame to 10000 bytes -- constant bitrate video!
