I have an IP camera streaming video through RTSP, and I am able to pick up the stream in VLC (rtsp://192.168.1.50:554/live.sdp). What I need now is a way to show this stream in a Flash application I am developing (probably through the FLVPlayback component?). This means I need a way to “convert” or transcode the RSTP stream to a format supported by Flash, live.
I searched around but couldn’t find any conclusive answers… Should I use VLC to transcode the video stream? Something with Adobe Media Server? Is ffmpeg an option here? I have no clue where to start or which option is most suited in this case. Anyone have an idea?
You can use erlyvideo streaming server to convert RTSP to RTMP. Flash can handle that natively. (http://erlyvideo.org/)
