Dear all
Does anyone of you have any experience with building an
audio/video conferencing application (Something like
PalTalk). The requirements at hand require 1-1 and 1-n
text/audio/video conferencing and file transfer. I'm new
to this domain and have just started looking at various
options available for building such an application.
The application has to be built around Windows Media
Server but going though the Microsoft/MSDN site, there
seems to be a bunch of API's that perform overlapping
tasks and i'm yet to find a place where i can find the
architecture explained in temrs of how the microsoft media
server and the rest of the APIs i.e. Media Services API,
Media Encoding API, Media Player API, DirectX API (for
image/audio acquisition), Windows Image Acquisition API
(?) etc. fit together and what are the various
architectural options available.
I also understand that Microsoft will like to push P2P
rather than Server technology, for such applications???
Sample codes/URLS/Comments are sincerely welcome....
