capture video and audio from webcam locally?

I'm writing a flex 4.5 application that's supposed to capture a video from a webcam and audio from microphone and save it in some video format (i don开发者_高级运维't care which format).

I use VideoDisplay to display the webcam. how can I fetch and play audio in real time ?

Is there a way to save the video locally without using a flash media server?

Flash/Flex does not have video encoding capabilities. You will need to send to a server for the encoding.

Sorry, I know this isn't good news. :\

You can check with the red5Recorder which is a player built using flex builder and configurable to any recorder like Red5 server or Flash FMS. You can check with the open source code to understand that.
