[Red5devs] [Red5] Help with Red5: Video streaming questions.

[Chris Allen]

Vinay,

You might want to post this question on the main Red5 list:

Red5 mailing list
Red5 at osflash.org
http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org

This list (red5devs) that you sent to is for the developers of Red5  
itself. Not as many people subscribe this this list, so you probably  
will have more responses on the other.
