The project consist of installing an AIR app on the server that will render a user generated flash animation frame by frame (up to 3600 frames) and we would then use FFmpeg to turn those frames into a video with an audio track. As far as I know Flash Media Server can't do that sort of thing.
Then we'll take that video and send it to youtube, and also let users download their video to their computer.
