Answer 1

Yeah there are several ways you can go with this but most of the cheapest (ie free) involve making you PHP chunk up the data and send it out.

See this: http://stream.xmoov.com

It's quite primitive but it does usually work. It's not as fast or responsive as RMTP (that's a "proper" Flash stream) and it doesn't actually stop people downloading the data but then again, neither does RMTP.
