The Next Big Question

Thank you for all the replies to my last post.

The next big question then is:

I now have a Windows PC and I purchase Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5 software

and install. I but server space on a managed server arrangement. I upload my pre recorded Flash clips

to the server and my website and playlist to my host. Basically the website is channelled via http

and the clips via RTMP. The key question that no one inside Adobe seems to be able to grasp

(or answer) is ~ will it work if I stream my own clips?! or is it inferior to say that of a professional streaming company.

The streaming companies charge anything from $125 to $250 a month, a big cost for someone like me, streaming around

1000mb a month. So does anyone out there have direct knowledge of this software and can you stream via

rented server space without using a streaming company?

    I'm not sure I understand the question entirely.

    Assuming your FMS server has adequate system and network resources to support FMS and the volume of traffic you intend to serve (concurrent streams that is, not monthly overall traffic), there's no reason why performance would be any better or worse than using a CDN.

    Perhaps if you describe your FMS deployment environment and your video files in more detail, we can better estimate what sort of performance you can expect, and how many concurrent streams you may be able to support.
