We need to bring a live video stream into Connect. WMV is the most common stream, but it comes in other flavors. Has there been a pod developed to incorporate streaming video into Connect?

Having just run a major event on Connect Pro ... we streamed all our content wherever possible and only went with live sessions where we had to.
First off - my understanding is that the only video you can stream in here is in FLV (Flash Video). We developed/produced content in Camtasia and then uploaded it, lined it all up in the various share pods and layouts we had built (not that hard), and went from there.
The Record mechanims in Connect Pro dont work too well ... well they do work, but then only create an FLV file that you have to "play" to download offline (alhtough I did find another way of downloading as well). But the real problem is the sound ... the embedded VoIP is low quality (and needs enhancing). Also, the edit function is simplistic to the point of being almost useless.
Oh and another thing we found ... 25 mins before the off, the VoIP and Call bridge (via Premier Global) dont work together. It is either one or the other. So in the end we used the VoIP as we had potentially a few hundred people joining the session.
