    Better use Flash Media Encoder which is free and is meant to work for FMS

    okk, thnks for this quick reply...now i'll try out with things and will try to stream those videos to my app.. Right now i wont try the live streaming

    however, I was wondering if i could do the encoding programaticaly in case of live streaming, is that possible?, how should i proceed for that?

    Encoder is required only for live streaming. Since your source and target formats are the same you would not need any transcoders as well.
