Hey Payam,
Ok, so I have two recommendations for you:
1) Your going to want to use flash ads to play the video (for
deliverablity reasons), and as far as I'm aware that means having to use
the flash codec. In which case I recommend finding some way to encode
your real media files, avi files, or whatnot into FLV files for use with
red5. Or, if you don't go the red5 route, for progressive download
(which for smaller/shorter ads might be a better way to go in the first
place).
2) If you insist on using another codec to deliver your video, then your
probably going to have to make use of a less penetrated plugin such as
real's realmedia player, quicktime, or windows media player. In which
case, your looking probably for a rtmp server that's free. For that, you
might want to look into Apple's Darwin Streaming Server (free last time
I checked).
Hope that helps in some way,
Justin

We are in the process of developing a flash
application. Our application is going to server video
ads streamed from RealMedia 24X7. We are in search of
a solution that can display these ads as they are
being served by the ad server. These video ads could
include mpeg, avi, etc., so we cannot directly use
flash player itself. We cannot afford to pay for Flash
Media Server either.
So we found this project, but the supported codec
video type is only flv. We have also found the
following product that can utilize the windows media
player to show oter codecs we are looking for in a
flash application:
http://www.flashjester.com/?section=tricks_jtools_jmovie
But the problem is that we do not get the video files
back from the ad server to be able to feed them to the
above software to be displayed in our application.
Can we somehow leverage Red5 and Flash Jester or some
other relatively low cost solution for the above
problem that we are trying to solve?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Payam
