I think this thread may be of help

It explains how to use ffmpeg and ffserver for live streaming while the converted video is generated. This works even for infinite streams.
when you stream your video using ffserver, you may want to set a reverse-proxy on your main webserver so that your users do not need to type a port number for the video.
ffmpeg can read from image sequences, use %d to represent the incrementing number. Just use the sequence as your input and the ffserver stream as your output

@nicky: `ffmpeg` can use a jpeg sequence as input. I have added that to my answer.

If your image source supports it, you can have it frame the images in a MIME multipart stream and pass that to ffmpeg using a FIFO buffer (use `mkfifo`) That will stream continuously.
