video stream on microcontroller

[mobz]

Any one have an idea on the processor speed i need to be able to get video from a video camera and stream them?I have AT168 @ 20MHz and im not sure if its adequate..

Depends on the resolution of the video, and if you're having to convert it from analogue - but if you're not compressing the video stream it's going to be a pretty huge amount of data.

I wouldn't have though a micro-controller at 20MHz would have a prayer?, think Pentiums instead.

Check out the AVRCam to see what you can do with a 168-class uC. There's plenty of background information there to see what you're up against.
