[Red5devs] Screen capture codec as live stream?

[Rob Terrell]

If I unsderstand your suggestion, that would simply be a capture  
driver for the screen, making it a video input device that shows up  
in the camera list. In that case, the Flash player would still encode  
the video with the H.263 codec, not the screen codec. The screen  
codec is lossless. You'll want your screen captures to use the screen  
codec, which the Flash player won't provide for your SWF movie.

There's a screen capture tool here that uses the screen codec for FLV  
files: http://klaus.geekserver.net/libflv/

For those of you with better knowledge of RTMP, it might be a simple  
matter to make that tool talk to Red5. (It's on my to-try list, but  
probably not until next month, anyway.)
