Tools like realproducer and (I assume) mp4live encode video from the
/dev/video V4L device. You will also need to loop the audio into a
soundcard.

I've tried this on my own Pentium 300MHz, and I didn't manage to get a
satisfactory quality out of it using realproducer. However, it does work -
if you set the quality low enough.
You need one machine to run the Real encoder on, and another machine on the
same LAN to run the realserver on.
I would be interested to hear people's experience with mp4live.
