What 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.
I need to develop a browser based application that record the user screen, much preferably on flv. Also doing that with java would be perfect.That's exactly what they accomplished at [url].... , with just a javaWS app.
I develop failover fms application with server-side action script. But i have a problem that FMS can't continue to record stream with record mode "append".
Environment: FMS 4.5.1 r484 on CentOS 5.5/6.0
Goals:
I have 2 same data streams in failover application and republish primary to livepkgr application.
I have to store of last 10 hours intact recorded video (DVR).
Failover app logic:
1. I create NetConnection and NetStream to livepackager;
2. When primary stream is connected it attach the primary stream to livePackager NetStream
3. If primary stream is disconnected it reattach the backup stream to livePackager NetStream
Problem: I have testing environment. It stop primary stream every 5 min, and started primary stream 5 min after stopping.
It work's, fine, but after a few hours testing LIVEPACKAGER falls. It can't record a stream, NetStream.Record.Start -> NetStream.Record.NoAccess -> NetStream.Record.Stop
Search a solution: I try to relaunch recording process and have no success. try to shutdown/start livepackager, it's same, try to restart server, same no success.
I cant stream.clear() or record with mode "record" cause it clears my dvr cache, I cant clean stream directory in livepackager application.
in other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and press Send or otherwise activate it. That's NOT what I am trying to do here in reality (i.e., no,I am not trying to spam other people's chat rooms or anything)but just an illustration of a similar situation.I can include in it whatever widget or hack that may be necessary.The reason why this problem is arising for me is that AFAIK the SDK that is providing me the data I want cannot be directly accessed from Flash, so I need a way to pipe the data from a regular app into Flash. can I have the Flash app interact with other apps through localhost IP? Or are there draconian restrictions on which server Flash in browser can and cannot interact?
I want to record audio from a Swf file, not mic, not from network just a simple swf file in local filesystem. I use SwfLoader, load into my app, and record by:
I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.
[URL].. Anyone know the AS to make it automatically check the size of the browser for the listeners_notice when you resize the browser it works perfectly...but not when it first loads up.
I want to record my pc's sound use flash to the FMS,that is, when i play a music by Windows Media Player, I can record the sound to the FMS,anyone has an idea?
I'd like to record live to a server the audio produced by some kind of drum machine made in flash, is it possible with FMS to record audio which is NOT from a Microphone object but from flash' SoundMixer?
I am developing an application where I need to record voice(for those who does not have a webcam so they can use only microphone to record voice) or video(those who have a a webcam - like laptop or external) files and save them on server, thereafter save the file name and logged in users id on database for later access.
I know I need to use some sort of flash app for this. But is there any free one which could server this purpose or even if there are paid ones which could serve this purpose that would be great. I tried google but may be I was not being able to go after the proper term or something, I could not succeed finding a proper solution for this.
I'm working on an application for a company that wants to create a service for their users. This company currently offers videos that are around 1.5 hours in length, and the service they want to integrate is the ability for the user to 'record' clips of this larger video to create, essentially, a highlight reel. The end result of this service would be a 3 minute video of the user's favorite parts of a huge 1.5 hour long video. Make sense?
For the sake of simplicity in asking my question, imagine the user interaction to be very basic. The user watches the video, he/she can press 'record' to record a clip of the master video. Now... I'm already aware of FLVslicer by Thibault at ByteArray, but I've thought surely there is some other approach to recording / splicing / merging FLV clips than just this guy's framework.
And so finally, my question is: do any of you have insight as to how I might investigate the best way to create this functionality aside from using FLVslicer?
Is there any way to record what flash player displays? I thought of sampling the framebuffer contents like 30 times per second but i am not sure if that is even possible under Windows.note: i know that there are plenty of software that converts swf to avi, but i wanna do it programmatically because my aim is not to save them to my disk as avi or sth.
recording movements while dragging an object and when the object is dropped the record event will stop and the recorded movement will be animated by Play button.
I'm putting together a portfolio for an interview mon, and I use a portable dvd player to show my 3d animations, but I also want to show a flash game I made and I was wondering whats the best method of showing it.I can't lug my comp in there, and just printing and mounting screenshots seems a waste when I have the dvd player sitting on the table already. I've been trying various desktop recording software, but so far everyone I've tried has horrendous framerate issues, well, not terrible, but not something I wanna show at a job interview.
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
I have an Audio Recorder created in flash. Currently it records audio and saves it in .flv format.(I am using AS2.0 and Red5 server) My question is: Is there any way by which I can record and save audio in .mp3 format, directly?
I was wondering if it is possible to record yourelf with a mic during a flash app/game and then access that file as well as play it.if it is possible are there any tutorials
Is it possible to record video through Flash's "Webcam" facility and receive encoded video on server side without any further processing (i.e. just saving the stream to a file)? Or is server side software always needed to encode the input? If server side software is necessary, are there free / Open Source solutions available?
I am looking for a way to capture the user interactions with a text input control in Flash over a period of time (not a screen cast)?For example: If the user enter some text, then delete, then enter something, I would be able to store that interaction as it happens and replay that later.
My goal is to make a replay function: I have to "record" 3 moviesclips movements for N seconds and play them back.Is there a library avaible to do it or a simple way ? Or do I need it from scratch?
