RE: [Flashcoders] Video encoding service
We use encoding.com for other things, but I don't believe it can do what we wish here: We need to grab the video from a website visitor's webcam, send the video to a server - preferably ours - to be served on demand later. Make sense? (thought ankoder.com does this, it doesn't.) Am I missing something? I know how to capture a bitmap from a webcam and send it to the server with no special server software. Can one do something similar for a video without FMS, Red5, Wowza or a subscription service that uses one of these? _ _ _ Erik Mattheis Senior Web Developer Minneapolis T 952 346 6610 C 612 377 2272 Weber Shandwick Advocacy starts here.

Re: [Flashcoders] Video encoding service
You might want to try mjpg-streamer if your capturing stills of the frames of the webcam and just need to reserve them. You can implement mjpg-streamer to do such I believe. I found it when I was doing a similar search. Its an older technology, but royalty free unlike other codecs. Might be your solution, might not. I am as new to it as you would be, but it looked promising.
