Thanks by merging code Paul, I got the fresh code right now.

I'll try to put live transcoding to h264 (no file seeking), using 
xuggle, I think it´s a good start point.

from the h264 FAQ i read this:

"Does red5 support h264 live streaming?

h.264 currently concerns only VOD."

Any know issue that make IMPOSSIBLE to do what I want? (Encode with 
xuggle, put encoded packets inside VideoData and AudioData, and transmit 
to red5 like TranscoderClass of the xuggler do)?

Thanks!
