Sorry, by "live" I mean "its happening right now".. as in not from a pre-recoded file. Video is coming from an axis 214 camera which outputs mpeg4 video and (according to ffmpeg), pcm_mulaw, 8000 Hz, mono, 64 kb/s encoded audio. I can get the direct feed from the camera via rtsp. As far as the fitcDemo, on my "FITCSpeakerBroadcaster.swf" page, I get an input box with a url, a picture of a 5 next to it, and a blue blob under it. Cant do anything else on that page.. opening the .swf file in notepad shows it seems to be a binary file... so it doesnt look like I can get any ideas from there.

Hi Jon, When you say a "live mpeg4 stream" what sort of device is this coming from to begin with? If it's a camera, then that can be broadcast in much the same way that the Video Conference demo (fitcDemo) works - the incoming video and audio are encoded into an FLV format, which you can save and/or stream on the fly. Otherwise, if what you mean by "live" as an existing file - in your case in the mpeg4 format - then you'll have to encode that into the FLV format before it can be streamed through Red5. Depending on the duration and the desired quality and pixel dimensions, these things take time to convert and generally what you get by doing this "on the fly" is not going to be as visually appealing as taking the time to encode the file properly. It might be helpful to know more about what you'd like to do so that we can suggest how to best accomplish it - or let you know what can and cannot be done at the moment. :) Yours, Nathan On Tue, 10 Apr 2007, Myers, Jon W wrote: > So, since it is impossible to use ffmpeg to create a working live swf > stream, does that mean red5 can't do it either, since from what I can > find, it would normally use ffmpeg to encode?
