Question
Live streaming question
How can I use another encoder to do live streams?
The Flash Media Encoder is alright for most things, but I want I want to go a little deeper and try to improve encoding, doing 2-pass, and a few other quirks to try to improve my live video quality and bandwidth usage.
The problem is, I have no idea how to do that for Live encoding. I'm not very experienced either with Flash or with FMS. Looking at the documentation, I only see one way to connect to the FMS, which is by Flash. And after connecting by Flash, I have to either use "netstream.attachVideo(Camera.get()) + netstream.publish" which gets information directly from a video source and the publishes to server, or by choosing an already existing FLV file, and then publishing it to the server.
But how can I publish live encoded video without using the FME? FME does it somehow, and I'm pretty certain those hardware encoders (I.E. Kulabyte) have some way of using the FMS to produce live content as well, so there must be a way, right?
Can anyone help me with this?
