streaming video in vb

[mexx]

Can anyone give me an idea on how to do streaming video in VB6? I'm looking to write a server module that streams video to a client. The client can either be VB or a JAVA applet in IE.

I am also trying to develop ActiveX Control, that is embedded in IE browser. I also have a web camera attached in the PC. Via this activeX control, I want to display the streaming video (in realtime) captured by the Web Camera. Has anybody done it previously? It does not sound very hard to do. I am not sure what windows classes/functions to use. I want to stick with VB.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

I dont know about video streaming but you can easily send a stream of data from server to client in VB6. Use the built-in control Winsock32.DLL which provides a full TCP/IP socket connectivity interface. On the server end, configure a server on your required port, start a data sending routine and start listening. From the client end, open a connection on the server and start getting data.

Do you have any idea about how it can be sent wireless???Condition: Server and Client are a distance so that neither bluetooth nor WiFi is available.....

If you have any idea....you can post it in
