    Question What server and software i need for streaming live video?

    Hello

    I am using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 for streaming live video to the net in a site like justin.tv and i was wondering if it is easy to do it myself in a dedicated server so it will be able to handle more users and how?

    Thank you

    Live streaming servers really don't require much in terms of hardware, but you'll need something like adobe flash media server or WowzaMediaServer or if you have a lot of time on your hands, red5 to produce the streams.

    you will need a flash video server like the ones specified by spud, plus you need to know of some tools programming etc.. to make a site look like justin for interface.

    2G ram/ dual core (2.8ghz) or simple quad with 2x sata drives would be enough and bandwidth as needed

    Bandwidth is going to be important! Make sure you find someone that offers dedicated low cost bandwidth and has great peers with eyeball networks.
