Hello,<br />
<br />
I am looking at setting up a web cam so that I can stream live video seminars/tutorials to my website. I've been searching around and have found various bits of software that will allow be to embed Windows Media Player into my site that then stream the video directly from the software on my computer. <br />
<br />
I am looking for a more substantial way of doing this than relying on every user pulling straight from my local machine as I don't have the bandwidth to support many simultaneous viewers.<br />
<br />
I have started looking into using an externally hosted Flash Media Streaming Server. Does anyone have any experience of this or could explain how to get the video from my webcam to my website via the Flash Media Streaming Server. (eg. what software do I need have on my local computer and how does it embed in the webpage?)<br />
<br />
I would be very grateful of any information.

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a cross-platform multimedia and software platform used to embed animations, video, and interactive applications into web pages and desktop and mobile applications and games. Flash displays text, vector and raster graphics to provide animations, video games and applications. It allows streaming of audio and video, and can capture mouse, keyboard, microphone and camera input. The ActionScript programming language allows creation of interactive animations, video games, web applications, desktop applications and mobile applications.

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
