Sadly, it seems Adobe is legally going to prevent Red5 and the likes doing so:
"I am not in a position able to explain to you why we will not allow 3rd party streaming servers to stream H.264 video or AAC audio into the Flash Player. What I can tell you is that we do not allow this without proper licensing. Refer to Adobe's friendly Flash Media Server sales staff for more information." http://www.kaourantin.net/2007/08/what-just-happened-to-video-on-web_20.html This is being discussed in Red5 mailing list: http://osflash.org/pipermail/red5_osflash.org/2007-August/014156.html Cheers, Juan On 8/22/07, Stas Oskin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi. > > I'm sure you probably already know, Adobe has announced a full H.264 support > in Flash Player today.
