I heard that Adobe has launched  a new server reffered to as Flash media Encoding Server.  In their website they do have explained a lot about it. But they have not mentioned whether it can be used for Live Streaming or not. Does any one know whether it can be used for Live Encoding .. anyone?? How is this server different from Flash Media Server??

    Jay is correct - Flash Media Encoding Server is a companion product to Flash Media Server that will encode/transcode files to Flash friendly formats for delivery via Flash Media Server or other forms of delivery.  It is not meant for live capture and encode - simply for preparing VOD files for delivery.   For more about encoding for Flash and the various Adobe and products in this space for both Live and VOD - you may want to read an article I wrote on our developer center.

    Thanks 4 the reply guys. So to conclude FMES cannot be used for live streaming and can be only used for Video on demand.

    I've not used it myself, but my understanding is that FMES only transcodes media files to Flash friendly formats. It does not provide streaming services or recording live streams (that's what Flash Media Server is for)
