Thanks Paul.  Helix isn't cheap, is it?  I'll look into Flash to see if I
can stream into it live.

Darrell, two options. Look for Helix server or you can also use Macromedia
Flash for it.

Subject: [coba-e:08842] Streaming media?

This question is about streaming live media from a BQ server.

 

I would like to be able to "publish" (for lack of a better word) certain
multimedia items to be made available in a live media stream to a small
number of Internet users, under 50, probably under 20.  These certain
multimedia items might be as simple as a series of static JPG images (like a
slide show), an actual Powerpoint slide show, a pre-recorded AVI or MPG
file, or just a webcam's output.  The output would be displayed in a webpage
that is framed next to a chat application.

 

I currently have a webcast/chat frameset where I am embedding a Windows
Media Video format live broadcast next to a chat session, and users are able
to chat while watching the broadcast.  I would like to do some of my own
broadcasts where I can display a series of photos and have users discuss
what they see, and then expand that capability to include videos and/or
webcam output.

 

I did something similar years ago with Real Producer and Real Server, but
don't want to get married again to the Real products.  I would like to find
a streaming server package I can install on my BQ machine and just connect
to it with a remote software encoder.

 

Does anyone have any experience with something like this that could point me
in the right direction?  Cost is a consideration.
