matlab code for video transmission

i need the matlab code for the problem that how we can transmit a video in matlab

[shreya kaushal]

i have just downloaded a video from youtube and now i want to load it in matlab...i tried it from the function mmread but its not giving the proper response...i dont know how to do it

[Walter Roberson]

YouTube videos are Flash, not AVI or mpg.

Also, reading a downloaded video is not an example of transmitting the video, which is what this question is about.

[shreya kaushal]

but i have to start with the reading first??

It is something you should be asking in a different question, as it is a quite different matter than transmitting video.

[shreya kaushal]

you please tell me the exact procedure for it in detail...

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

There are two kinds of data transmission: "reliable", and "best effort". "reliable" is used when it is necessary that all of the data be received and reconstructed exactly the same as at the source, even if it takes several retransmissions or a considerable length of time. "best effort" is used when it is acceptable to lose some of the data or receive it out of order because "real-time" presentation is more important for the application purposes.

"transmit a video" could potentially fall into either of these types. If the video is being copied from one place to another for later display or analysis, then "reliable" transmission would be called for. If the video is being transmitted over (say) a web page to display to a user "live" then best-effort is what would be called for.

In order to proceed, you will need to decide which of the two transmission schemes you are needing.
