View 2 RepliesI want to create a simple app the will run on a PC as a desktop application - not on the web. What I would like to do is have it show a webcam image on screen (yup, i can do this bit), then when the user clicks a button, the video and audio from the camera is recorded and saved to their local machine (eg. the desktop). I'd prefer it to be an flv or f4v file, but any video format would do for now. I've seen examples of video being recorded only (basically grabbing a jpeg/png of each frame and using these, but this has no audio!) I've also seen mention off flash media server, but as this app will be going on over 100 pc's with no network/server connection - I cant see how the cost would work!! (100 x licences -

here is my code

When i click record_btn, flash asks me permission to access my webcam. If i alow in the screen i am able to see live video. But I want to store the video and replay it.
I noticed that AS3 is able to take a snapshot out from a webcam & save it as a .jpg but is AS3 capable of recording a video with a webcam and save it to a local disk/network server? any video format is fine with me as long it can be played with window media player.

View 7 RepliesWhat is the best (and simplest!) way to record video from a webcam to the local filesystem--all from a browser? Ideally the video would be recorded in HD and then we could use ffmpeg later to convert it into the formats and sizes needed.
Here are some things we've looked into:
Use Flash to stream to a local Red5 server. But we've had issues with video quality here. A Java applet using JMF (can we even write to the filesystem from an applet?). We've heard this might not be very efficient though. Can it handle HD?
Write a custom Firefox plugin. Would this be very difficult?
Basically the hardest thing here is that the controls need to be embeddable into a browser. All we need is a box where the webcam frame is displayed to the user, and then some Javascript hooks so we can code start/stop buttons within the HTML page.
The computer is fully controlled (it's a kiosk) and we can do just about anything to it. We just need a solution that runs in the browser. Our current app is run in Firefox in kiosk mode and the webcam recording is just a part.
We want to build an application that allows the user to record a video using their webcam on our site using flash and save the URL in a database using PHP. So that we can allow the user to send the video's to other users etc. Also we want to offer the user the possibility to upload their movies (per mail and with PHP) and convert them to flash movies, can this also be done using Flash media server? (maybe in combination with AMFPHP)

[Code]...
However, when I look at the FMS Admin Console at the streams in app/_definst_, their types are either "NetStream" or "Live". If they were being saved wouldn't they say "Stored"? After I close the application doing the recording, the "NetStream" type stream disappears, and after a while all the "Live" typed streams are gone too. Nothing is saved.
I have no idea what is happening. I don't know if it's a problem with my AS3 code not closing the recording properly or if I'm doing something else wrong, or maybe somethgin isn't right in the FMS?
is there any sample on using array bitmapdata to record video from webcam and generate flash movieclip file? i want to record sound as well without using red5/flash streaming server

View 1 RepliesHow to record my webcam with augmented reality. Lets start from the beginning, I have a webcam application that records to a streaming server. This application hasn't bin written by me unfortunately. I have added some new futures to this application, I have implemented augmented reality that positions a 3dmodel on the marker. This is working fine while it's recording. But it only records the webcam feed. How can I include my 3dmodel in the recording? Can I use BitmapData to capture the image of the 3dmodel and store this somewhere, for instance, in the Model class. So I can addchild it later at the location where the video is created and recorded, or is this totally the wrong way to go? It is recorded at a streaming server.
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know anything about recording webcam streams and storing them using FMS? I'm looking into capturing the stream as an FLV that can then be stored on the server so it can be played back.If anyone has any ideas on hwo to go about this or knows of any good reading material, let me know.
View 17 RepliesMy company is about to launch an online teaching product allowing users to use a webcam to record themselves giving a presentation. That presentation can then be submitted to a supervisor to review and comment on. While making their recordings, users can record multiple attempts and review each immediately after stopping the recording. All of this is being done with a browser based Flash application connecting to an instance of FMS 3.5.
All of this is working well. However, we recently found out that due to some of our other products, we are getting hammered with fees based on the amount of bandwidth we are using in our data center. We have made some alterations to curtail these problems, but we are concerned that this new product is going to push us over the edge again. Our original plan was to keep the video stream right around 115 kbps, a relatively low data rate. But when thinking about the expected concurrent users, the bandwidth starts to stack up and really spike.
So we are now looking for ways to limit the bandwidth that this new product will use. One idea was to figure out how to record the video locally when users where recording their test presentations. I thought that was now possible, but apparently that is not yet the case with the Flash Player.
Another idea was to limit the bandwidth that is allocated to each user that connects to our FMS. We are hoping to address the spiking issue with this limitation. I am, however, concerned about what will happen to a video stream that is getting squeezed on the server site. I know when users have limited bandwidth, video files that are published to the FMS are compromised (poor quality). But what happens when the bandwidth is limited on the server side? Do the same things happen to the published video file? Or can the server somehow queue up the data coming in and deal with it in full when it finally gets to it. My guess is that this is not the case, but was curious what others though.
We've purchased the FMS 4.5 and are now planning an application that lets users record a video to the server using their webcam. Straight forward, if we were to stream only to a flash video object. BUT, we would like our padders to be able to see the videos on demand too. Can't find a tutorial on this, seems like everyone's more interested in live streams.The server is able to record a stream in mp4, but when I'm testing these files in Adobe Media Player it won't play :| What codec is used, and is it possible to play this format on an iPad? If not, is there som sort of solution other than manually transcode to the right format.
View 5 Repliesgoal is to record a stream from a webcam with the best possible quality regardless the bandwith of the user.(it doesn't have to be live or broadcast, just stored on the server)
is it best to record from server side with asc script or directly from the flash player ?what are the parameters on the server that i can play with in order to cache locally the stream if the bandwith is not high enough ?
This will create an flv video file on flash media server:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.publish("yourCamera", "record");
ns.attachVideo(Camera.get());
How can I generate an image for the current video frame every 2 seconds?
For fun I'd like to recreate [URL]. Basically i need to be able to stream webcam video from one computer to another using flash.
