Hi
how do you "record" audio from a mic or from a media player in the application (i.e. if your media player plugin is playing a radio link, you could record what you need).
i think this needs a DLL Call Function ?

thanks,
Mina

Yeah, that one is definitely buried.

That whole thread has a lot of nice offerings in it, it may be worth a look if you haven't already.

none that I'm aware of. Search the forums though, there is a ton of information here, and I can only remember so much of it :)

Seems to me that it's possible to do this through Flash although I must admit it's something I've never done so I'm a bit hazy on the logistics. If you right click on a Flash movie and then go under "Settings" you will find an option to activate/deactivate "allowing local to access your microphone and webcam", my theory is that this indicates an ability to use those as tools from Flash applications. I bet Google will have more on that, anyhow just an idea... :D

From what I've looked into, that will only allow you to record back to a Flash Communications Server. If anyone else knows differently, I'm 100% interested. Do tell...

Ahhhhh I see, yes that sounds correct to me actually. Thanks for the clarification Worm. :)

Kills me too. I had a client that wanted me to do that exact thing. Use Flash to record to a SWF or FLV, then send it to a server to be streamed. I cannot find anything that will allow me to capture a web cam to a SWF or FLV. I've found several command line utils that will convert, but the quality is horrible.

I've settled for WMV, but WMV doesn't stream well off their shared hosting plan... so... still looking...

actually it is possible with flash mx to camera-record, save then send an fs-command for ams to load it.. fortunately im good in using that program. though i havent done it yet but im pretty sure its possible :)

I've been doing some research tonight also, since I have a client intested in FLV streaming files and a custom player (which I had hoped to make out of AMS). I'm not sure if this will help your situation or.... not.

Says it records direct streams - haven't tried it yet, but there is a free demo. Only possible one which I found which does live FLV recording... May be DV only though.

Sounds interesting, allows you to split the incoming video from anything to access in multiple applications, plus it's freeware =) Has possibilities...

That's just good reading.

Other then that it look like you need specific hardware or FCS (Flash Commications Server)/ FMS (Flash Media Server) at $4500 is necessary to archieve FLV on the fly live encoding. Blows me away that there isn't a FLV encoding codec available to incorporate into 3rd party recoding applications (like: divx, mpeg, etc). (open sources) http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=126

Also Flash8 comes bundled with Flash8 Video Encoder - allowing you to batch convert saved videos to FLV... but not live videos.

If anyone comes accross that hidden piece of the puzzle I'm looking for - i'd appreciate it also!

Best Wishes,

Ok, for who's interested, check out this .exe file i made using ams.
Im having trouble uploading the file through this forum's attachment manager, so download it from here ( http://home.ripway.com/2005-11/525351/flash-camera.zip)

P.S. If you need to see the file in the .apz format, request so
