I came across this comparison chart that suggests that FMS costs about 4.5 grands (compared to $995 for wowza and free for Red5). Since I'm at the stage of choosing/learning the technology, I'd rather take free Red5, but Red5 looks like a poorly-organized, poorly-documented, and poorly-featured project compared to FMS or wowza, so I'm go...
