[Icecast] Stream HD video

[Josu Lazkano]

Thanks both of you for yours replys.

I change my video source to theora with this comand: ffmpeg -i in.wmv
-vcodec libtheora -sameq -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 -sameq out.ogg

Now I have a theora video. How can I stream this video with Icecast2?
Is there any guide?

Thanks for all and best regards.
