Question

live encoder required for h.264?

I have a web app that connects two computers and streams video to each other like a video conference.  It currently works and also records the video in .f4v format.  I am trying to figure out what I need to do to enable the client pc's to stream in H.264.  Is it true that I have to use some type of encoder (like Live Encoder) to use H.264?  If so, does Live Encoder have to be installed on the client computers?  If that is true, is there a way to install the live encoder through our web app, configure it, and close it down when the conference is over, with no interaction from the client?  Is there some type of plug-in that we could use that would eliminate the need for installing live encoder on the client computers?

I am using Flash Media Server 3.5.

    Flash player 11 (released today) supports h.264 encoding.

    We currently aren't using flash player.  I assume that would take some work to swap to.  So am I right that the client is going to have to be able to work Live Encoder or some other third party program on thier own to stream h.264?  No plugin, or API I could use to take this out of their hands?
