[Red5devs] RTP/H.264 to Flash

[Michael Vernick]

I'm new to this mailing list but figured you guys were the experts on
Flash media.  We currently have SIP endpoints that broadcast real-time
audio (G.711) and video (H.264).  We'd like Flash clients to be able to
'listen' to these broadcasts, in addition to our SIP-based endpoints.
These are one-way streams.  I've seen a few SIP to Flash gateways, but
these handle the protocol conversion and audio only.  We are looking for
an audio/video solution.

If we were going to build a video gateway, would there have to be any
transcoding of the video?  Video would be coming into the gateway  in
H.264/RTP packets.  Is it just a matter of stripping the RTP headers and
then creating a Flash formatted packet with the encoded video?  Or is it
more complicated?  I'm not very familiar with the Flash file format for
H.264 video.

Is this a capability that is planned for Red5, or is this outside the
scope of the project?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Michael
