Question

Encode archive of live stream on FMS 4

I thought by what I have initially read that this was possible, but I am not sure.

What we would like to do is create an archive (f4v or mp4) on the FMS 4 server any live stream that is pushed from our endpoints.  Primarily as a backup and if necessary - an editable file within CS4 or CS5.

We are at a University and capture lecture powerpoints natively and sometimes need to edit the files.  flv is not enough and we would like to take afvantage of mp4 and the FMS server while we use it for overflow as a recorder.

Can anyone clarify if this can be done?

Thanks

    Yes, you can publish a live stream to FMS, and record it in F4V/MP4 format.

    Can you please point me to how this is configured? I'm not sure how this is accomplished.

    Thanks

    In your server side actionscript, you can catch publish events with the application.onPublish and application.onUnpublish events (see the docs). Using these events, you can start and stop recording on the server side (see the stream class for the record method)
