How to play a video in mpeg-ts container format with H.264 encoding in a Flex 4 application?

Question

I am trying to create a Flex 4 application to stream video in mpeg-ts format. The video is encoded in H.264 and the audio in mp3/AAC. I am unable to figure out the approach I should take. Is it possible to download mpeg-ts chunks and then play it in Flex. Any suggestions/help appreciated.

Thanks, Soumya

Answer 1

Instead of using mpeg-ts, flv can be used as the container for the specified codecs. It would work perfectly fine.

Answer 2

I would highly recommend looking at Red5, Wowza, or Flash Media Server. These are excellent applications that can stream just about anything to flash in a very high performance manner. Red5 is free. Both have extensive documentation and examples.
