I want to create a service that streams live traffic video to either a client browser or a client processor (which will actually process the video). I want real video, not just images that update periodically. Assume I know the basic concepts of web design (both front and back end). But assume I know nothing about streaming media.
Can someone point me in the direction to get started?
I need information concerning software, frameworks (especially if it’s compatible with Ruby on Rails), encoders, converters, protocols, … – thanks!
What about something like tokbox?

I havent personally used it. However I have visited an on line video podcast that uses this technology. Good quality streaming.
