[Asterisk-video] confbridge, h264 and switching

[Matthew Jordan]

Dmitry:

Can you explain what you mean by "it brokes during switching"?

ConfBridge has the capability to change the video source based on a
number of settings.  It can be configured to automatically set the
video source using talk detection, or based on the first/last marked
user that joined the conference.  Alternatively, you can use the DTMF
menu options to set the source of the video.

That being said, we do not have plans at this time to perform
transcoding on the video streams.  There's a number of reasons for this,
most notably that to do so is incredibly resource intensive.  Is that
what you were referring to?
