FMS broadcasting and recording

Hey,

I have Adobe Flash Media Server installed on ubuntu.
and I have some questions about operating it...

1. What do I need to do in order to stream a live H.264 broadcast?
will everyone who has a flash player will be able to see it?
do I need to use a special camera for that? or a special player?

2. How can I record the live broadcast into the server directly?

3. How can I add text on the live broadcast screen?[like announcements, headlines and stuff]

4. How do I make the FMS require a password in order to broadcast? meanwhile, anyone who knows the IP can use the server to broadcast whatever he wants.


any help will be greatly appreciated,
TMO.

    1) Lots of RAM and a decent Camera, the H.264 is better for streaming pre recorded movies with a slight buffer, Live Streaming will be slower.
    Minimum FMS 3.0.2 as previous versions do not support H.264

    2) FME allows you to stream live to the FMS server and also record the stream for later viewing. I tend to record the stream to the vod directory with a pre determined file name, this way I can then built a link in advanve to allow watchers to view again immediately.

    3)Difficult unless you mess with server side scripts etc.

    WebCamMax though will provide this solution.

    4) Not sure about that one...................
