Yes I just read another resource on the red5 blog site regarding the 
same question and that the flash player encodes before it broadcasts 
and the archived media is the encoded stream. Im still trying to work 
my way around the internal like with the streaming of the files and had 
to make sure it wasnt doing any codec stuff while streaming the media 
??

So there are broadcast applications that can stream flv in this kind of 
codec or similar ? I couldnt find any so it looks like ill have to be 
building the app in flex.

Yes thats quite alot, i thought i read the codecs are already in the 
latest player/flash 8 encoder right ? I also see there is a free 
version of vp7 on the site. Im still trying to investigate what would 
be the best encoder for VOD files to handle the latest codecs etc

Thanks.
