What kind of OpenSource solution to do video streaming?

Question

I am looking for a solution to do streaming of 5 videos streams (with audio) on the Internet.

What kind of OpenSource can I use ? I heard about Red5 but we need Flash Player. Is it yet possible do to that with HTML5 video tag ?

Answer 1

You could also use VLC for video streaming.

I think the HTML5 video tag can be directly used to embed video files and there shouldn't even be the need for a streaming server.

Answer 2

To stream flash try flvstreamer. It needs some setup and thinkering though.
