[FFmpeg-user] Webcam RTMP stream - video problems

[Wuttke, Nikolai]

Hello,
 
I'm trying to capture audio and video from a webcam and stream it via RTMP to a Red5 media server, where others can then view the live stream.
When I do it from a Flash applet (Publisher Demo from the Red5 distribution), it works without problems.
When I use ffmpeg, trying to stream *both* audio and video causes stuttering and delayed video playback.
The video stream will be lagging behind what I do in front of the camera by approximately half a second, and it doesn't look "fluid".
 
My command line and environment:
OS: Windows 7 x64
FFmpeg version: N-58308-ge502783

Command line:
ffmpeg -f dshow -video_size 640x480 -framerate 15 -i "video=USB Video Device:audio=Microphone (4- USB Audio Device"^
    -r 15/1 -s 640x480^
    -acodec nellymoser -ac 1 -ar 22050^
    -aq 30^
    -q 28^
    -threads 0^
    -f flv rtmp://my-server-url/oflaDemo/test
 
I'm using the Nellymoser codec because that's what the Flash applet uses - I also tried MP3 but then the delay is even worse.
I've played around with the quality settings quite a bit, and some seem to result in a little less delay, but I couldn't find a convincing setting yet.
If instead of streaming I write to a local flv file, it works great. If I disable the audio stream, it also works without problems.
I don't think network bandwidth is an issue, as the server is connected via LAN.
 
Do you have any suggestions regarding parameters/configuration, or what I could look into? Are other codecs more likely to work without problems?
 
Best Regards,
Niko
