    All,

    I'm about to start a new project involving live audio and video broadcasting through a website. Does anyone recommend a starting point for these technologies? I’ve done some research but I want to know what others might be using.

    Many thanks,
    jawinn

    I'm having the same problem, I thought about Flash but it seems we need to purchase the flash media server which is quite expensive!

    I need to build a videoconference on a website..

    .flv (flash) videos seem to be the best and work with everyone, if you can't afford the flash hosting then I'd go with quicktime. Then again I ama little quicktime biased, I like it more.

    you can rent a dedicated server that runs windows 2003 standard server software, and it'll come with the windows media server software for free... basically it's $25-$30 more a month for windows 2003 server over a unix/linux server, given the same hardware.

    if it's just audio that you are streaming, you can do the shoutcast server thing, or even pay someone to host your files on their shoutcast server, and it's pretty reasonable... putting streaming video into the mix is where it gets complicated.

    go over to www.webhostingtalk.com and go thru the dedicated server offerings... $167/mo. for windows 2003 standard, p4/one gig of ram, plesk, with 1200 gigs/mo. bandwidth, is what i ended up with.

    good luck on your server!
