hi glen isn't your webcam compatible with Flash ? if it's the case, then you only have to make a small swf client app which simply converts your webcam stream to an FLV stream which is then sent to your Red5 server or FMS. then your Red5 server can either stream it directly to other clients, or store the streams in FLV format on the server side. I don't know about mjpeg compression, but FLV compression (which quality and rate you can setup through AS) is very efficient, and converting the thing through Flash Player on the client side will probably save you some bandwidth... It is the simpler solution, or did I miss something ?
