You may be able to roll your own solution by manipulating a byte array and writing it to the disk, assuming you know the binary format of an FLV or the video type you wish to write. The other option is to stream it to an FMS/Red5 server as Greg pointed out.
To out this in perspective, when I was at the onAIR Bus Tour event I saw someone demo an application that did WAV file mixing and wrote the binary to disk for playback as a WAV file. The developer had coded his own WAV file creation routines. It was amazing, and I am certain the same applies for videos. -- William --- In [email protected], "greg h" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Gilbert, > > Yes, yes and no. > -- Yes AIR/Flex/Flash can encode input from a camera object (plus microphone > object for the audio :) > -- Yes, this encoding actually happens in Flash Player/AIR > -- No, AIR has no API supporting storing the recorded FLV to the local > desktop.
