Convert RTSP stream to MP4 - html

Question

I have a IP Camera that supports RTSP, and I need to display this stream to multiple clients using HTML5.
Since HTML Video tag doesn't support RTSP, I'm calling ffmpeg to encode it to a WEBM stream, but the result is very glitchy and distorts the original stream.
The command im using is the following:
ffmpeg -i my_RSTP_URL -vcodec libvpx -f webm -
To distribute the stream I'm using a Node.js instance that calls the rtsp stream via ffpmeg when needed.
The solution looks like such:
Camera --Via RSTP--> ffmpeg --Encodes to WEBM--> Node.js --Via HTML5 Video--> Client
Node.js code:
var request = require('request');
var http = require('http');
var child_process = require("child_process");
var stdouts = {};
http.createServer(function (req, resp) {
switch (params[0])
{
case "LIVE":
resp.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'video/mp4', 'Connection': 'keep-alive'});
// Start ffmpeg
var ffmpeg = child_process.spawn("ffmpeg",[
"-i","my_RSTP_URL", // Capture offset
"-vcodec","libvpx", // vp8 encoding
"-f","webm", // File format
"-" // Output to STDOUT
]);
ffmpeg.on('exit', function()
{
console.log('ffmpeg terminado');
});
ffmpeg.on('error',function(e)
{
console.log(e);
})
ffmpeg.stdout.on('data',function(data)
{
console.log('datos'+data);
});
ffmpeg.stderr.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('stderr'+data);
});
stdouts[params[1]] = ffmpeg.stdout;
// Pipe the video output to the client response
ffmpeg.stdout.pipe(resp);
console.log("Initializing camera");
break;
}
}).listen(8088);
console.log('Server running at port 8088');
Am I using the wrong library codec? Or why Am I getting such a weird result?

It seems to me, this can help for https://github.com/kyriesent/node-rtsp-stream
Also I worked with this technology, you can visit repository on bitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/kaleniuk_ihor/neuro_vision/src/db_watch/
Оn the other hand, your code may not work because you did not install ffmpeg at the root of drive C.
