Live streaming using Flash

I was working on an application that streams live video using Flash client and Wowza media server.

As of now, I use an independent desktop based encoder(Flash Media Live Encoder) to publish my live stream.

I wanted to know if it is possible to do the encoding part in the browser? My application would be开发者_开发技巧 a used by many to publish their streams so I cannot ask everyone to use FMLE to publish.

I was wondering how do the other web based video chat applications do the encoding part over the web.

Please help. Thanks

Flash Media Server supports accepting a video stream from the browser and pushing it out to other clients live. I don't know if Wowza has this functionality though.

Look at VideoIO. I'm using it successfully with Wowza Media Server.

If you want to enable screen sharing from the browser, you can also use red5-screenshare it works fine with Wowza server also.
