Imagine you own an old Macintosh Plus, and you want to create screen videos or even a lifestream with the box.

Nothing easier than that, right? Take an ATEM Mini Pro, a set of HDMI cables, an appropriate video adapter and off you go! 🎬

If you've done the math briefly, you'll arrive at a whopping €1000, and certainly like to take a look at … options. So did Joshua Stein.

His recent article is about exactly this topic. After some experimentation with websockets and real time decoding in the browser, Joshua ended up with ffmpeg and h264. His journey towards these two is more than interesting, and of course the target system doesn't have to be exclusively the Mac Plus.

Worth reading if you plan to release something sometime soon.
