Hi guys,

Does anyone have any experience setting up live streams using flash media server? What kind of capture card/video camera has worked for you? i'm currently working on a live streaming project for a small school. I welcome all recommendations and links to any supporting docs/sites etc..

Thanks!

you intend to get across, then it is not focused
well enough.

    Small schools can benefit from 'cloud' services very well. Serving up video is not very easy if you have to troubleshoot it for a lot of people. I recommend they host their video somewhere with bandwidth and server space.

    +1, I always advise against in-sourcing stuff like this, others are better setup to handle it.
