I herd about RED5, but unfortunately I can't find any examples for feeding it with external source. I know RTSP is in development, but I'm thinking about (named) pipes or something like this. There is is also project named xuggle that is as far as I understand ffmpeg wrapper for Java, but I herd they have also problems with live streaming.

RTMPD is Free and free.

Its a struggle to build from source though.

Thank You. I must definitely try it. It looks very promising. There is little lack of documentation but I can handle it.I was thinking about mammoth also, but it is in alpha stage.

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If a simple 1 to 1 connection is all your after you should check out adobe's free peering system stratus: http://www.flashrealtime.com/tuts/p2p-in-flash.html . But if your looking for one to many broadcasting its going to either take a bunch of money for an fms license or a lot of poking around in red5 or RMTPD

It will be live stream from conference. So it will be one to many. I was thinking about RED5, but there are some problems with live streaming. FME's licence allows using it only with FMS, and RED5 publisher is poor.It would be nice if the software could work in Unix like headless environment.

WOWZA is a well-known commercial solution.

They claim better performance and price than FMS.

There is always of course the Free and free ffserver too! There's nothing wrong with 'streaming' using progressive download of FLV.

I know Wowza, But probably I will not be allowed using it. I will try ffserver.
