Can I send/publish MP4/H.264 video (live or record) to FMS from webcam? Another similar question; does Flash (10?) support H.264 encoder?

Thanks!

    1> Yes, you can publish H264 video to FMS from a webcam. Check out flash media live encoder here http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/

    2> Flash player 10 does not supports H264 encoder. When it comes to flash, video can be published only in Sorenson H263 codec.

    You answered my question in #2. I am not sure I understand how services such as ustream.TV can webcast in H.264/MP4? Since smartphones can send the stream only in FLV/H.263; Do they re-encode the livestreams from H.263 -> H.264 at the server using FlashMediaEncoder?

    Another question: lets say if I can somehow encode the video myself (H.264) at client side in realtime; can I publish it to FMS as MP4/H.264?

    Thanks!

    I guess the answer is live media encoder however it doesn't have an API -

    in other words you have to manually configure each individual stream with the

    FME application, there is no actionscript support for dynamic open/close sterams.
