Is it possible to encode video from a lifecam hd 3000 webcam through the roborio to encode via h.264 to cut data streaming bandwidth?
Theoretically yes, practically no. The software isn’t installed for it, and the RoboRIO processor isn’t fast enough to do it without substantial latency. You’re going to be better off reducing resolution or FPS or (if you have multiple cameras) switching camera feeds to reduce bandwidth.
