You'd have to use a virtual camera software/driver to do so.
ManyCam is one that pretty much does what you want.
https://manycam.com/
The output resolution is limited though for the free version.
Also keep in mind that ManyCam will recompress the input (video file).
Once installed, a ManyCam virtual camera will appear as an option in
Flash/Flex/AIR.

Thank you, Nick and Peter. Yeah, the FFMPEG option was my backup in case
this didn't work.
So, if we could fake the mp4 stream to appear like a camera stream then
this should work wouldn't it? I tried exploring the NetStream instance but
there doesn't seem to be anything obvious enough to do this. Any way of
doing this in Air?
Thank you,

One way to do it would be via FFMpeg.
You can run FFMpeg via a NativeProcess from AIR. However, the air
application then needs to be compiled as a native application (exe, dmg).

David,
Unfortunately, Adobe's FMS (now Adobe Media Server) does not support
sending content from Flex/AIR/JS, unless it is from a camera input.
No idea why they didn't implement it, but you have to use their
proprietary client to do the streaming.
Wowza allows you to stream MP4 files via an HTTP Post, which you can
do with AIR/Flex. The only gotcha I would note is the file size that
you want to stream -- anything over 2GB will start to cap out the
memory in the AIR client and won't produce favorable results.

Hi there Flex experts!
Does Apache AIR SDK have support for streaming a video file (mp4) to
a media server (FMS/Wowza)? I know how to stream a camera feed to a
media server. But what I need is to be able to stream a local mp4
file to a media server. This mp4 file will then get re-streamed to
other peers from the media server.
Is this possible using the NetStream/NetConnection/Other classes? If
it isn't directly possible to do this, then is there a way I can
simulate the video as a camera feed and then attach this to the
NetStream instance?
Thank you,
David Frank
