Hi, I want to mention, that erlyvideo can accept video stream from Quicktime Broadcaster and retransmit it to flash clients.

Carson help! I need a lot of education. Do I need both RED5 and FFMPEG to do the intended live broadcasting and ondemand streaming on my website?

Can I use just FFMPEG? Please share.

Thanks for your attention and Happy New Year!

Unfortunately the isight only streams the video in VLC 1.0 and not audio. I'm having a little issue making this all work on only Mac hardware. The option for streaming is only set to mpeg-ts which I would rather have VLC send out RAW from the Quicktime Broadcaster and let ffmpeg deal with the conversion to mpeg-ts.

Anyone else have a good solution for streaming from an external camera?

Quick heads up about VLC 1.0.0. It can open the iSight its self.

Just pick File->Open Capture Device and then Pick iSight from the drop down.

The dialog says it does 640×480 only, but I so far only get a little 160×120. But more then enough to test with.

I have a post ready on how to do live streaming using a modified version of the segmenter. It seems to work pretty well for me but I haven't pushed it real hard. I'm going to get it out there and let others hammer on it. I hope the configuration is understandable, it can be tightened up a good bit but at this point I lack the time to do that so I'm just going to go with what I have to help move people forward.

Hey man, keep up the good work, I'm really looking forward to your live streaming guide, any luck so far? I've been playing with VLC=>FFMPEG=>Apple Segmenter for some time but the results vary…
