Need license for using H.264 Video codec for live stream with FMS 3.5 series

Hi,
    I am creating a live audio-Video chat application  in which I use H264 video codec for live streaming.  I am using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I read some where that H.264 Video streaming using FMS required seperate licencse. So I want to confirm , It is true that H264 video streaming required seperate license? If yes then what is the procedure to get license.
Please let me know its urgent.
Regrads,

Hi Again,
Thanks for your reply.
Here are some articles/posts which says about Royalties to use h264:

According to these, any  product/service provider, need to pay one time fee based on # of subscribers if we are using h264 for encoding and is charging fee from its users.
About our business: We are web-conferencing solution tool provider and are using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I for audio/video. Please help me out if h264 is really free for us or we need to buy license to use that.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

  • Can the author please send me an exported version using H.264 video codec

    Seems as thou I am having similar problems as other clients are having with movies. My computer guy asked me to ask you this question in the subject line. I have no idea what this means. I sent him a video, he has sound but no video, and he has tried multiple applications, but the results are the same. No video. So, I am suppose to ask the author to send you an exported version using H.264 video codec???? Please help get this resolved!

    So, you need to re-export it, this time choosing H.264. What software are you using?

    Problem for using oracle xml parser v2 for 8.1.7
    I have a sylesheet with

    It works fine if I refer this xsl file in xml file as follows:
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://...../GN.xsl"?>.
    When I use this xsl in pl/sql package, I got

    After I changed name space definition to

  • H.264 not working in Live Stream

    Hi,
    I have a HD Camera streaming a live feed through FME 2.5 to
    FMS 3.0 using the VP6 codec and it works fine.
    I have now been trying to get the same stream running via
    H.264 and althogh FME 2.5 connects to the FMS 3.0 server and the
    stream starts with FMS 3.0 reporting the stream no problem.
    The Client application crerated with Captivate 3 using Flash
    Player 9 for publishing no longer dispays the video.
    Switching back to VP6 works again.
    Any one have any idea what I should be doing?
    Cheers

    Thanks for the quick response, I checked with our Admin guys
    and it indeed 3.0.0.
    So I will update immediately.
    Is there a big advantage to using H.264 over VP6 for live
    streaming?
    I have another forum question that went unanswered relating
    to this issue asking, what are the required recommended settings
    for both FMS 3 and FME 2.5 to reduce any lagging in video on a 1gb
    LAN which should not have any?
    cheers again

  • User Auth. for Live Streaming with Media Encoder 2.5 and FMSS

    Hi,
    i am currently thinking of buying the Flash Media STREAMING
    Server (~995 $) and in order to see if this is the right choice, i
    also take a look at the Wowza Media Server for comparison.
    I want to support Live Streaming from Events with Flash Media
    Encoder 2.5 and for this i'll need a user authentification for
    giving access to special publishing Users only. Wowza Media Server
    supports a User Authentification by parsing the connecting URL,
    witch is delivered by the Media Encoder on starting a Connection,
    and therefor grants or denies access to the publishing function.
    Only Users with the right Access Persmissions, which is written
    trough a password and the onPublish Comand in the url, can publish
    Live Streams. Everyone can watch the Live Stream, if no restriction
    to the onConnect Command was made.
    The Problem in this case is, i will need seperate Application
    folders for every user who should be able to start a live stream.
    This would be a horrible effort...

    Is there a similar way to support authorisation for starting
    publishing a LiveStream to the Flash Media Streaming Server, or do
    i need the Flash Media Interactive Server?
    How can i restrict access to users, who should not be able to
    start a live stream on my FMSS?
    Thx for your help,
    Tobi

    Unfortunately no, there isn't. I struggled with same issue
    earlier, and we were forced to purcahse the Interactive edition. As
    the 'Streaming' version only runs Adobe-signed apps, there is no
    way to change things that happen within the onConnect handler.
    Furthermore, guys at Adobe haven't provided any possibility for
    even simple access control through configuration files for built-in
    apps that come along with the Streaming Server edition.

  • Can use another software (not FMLE) to publish stream to FMS?

    Hi all,
    I have a question:
    Can use another software (not FMLE) to publish stream to FMS?
    I ask this question because I want to use Authentication add-in to prevent user publish stream to FMS. This add-in only affect with FMLE, so, if user use another encoder software, they still can publish stream to my FMS

    You can use any encoder to publish to FMS - you can write you own add-in to restrict any publisher - but you are right that FMLE add-in will work only for FMLE.
    Actually i am not clear with your questions - Are you concerned that other publishers apart from FMLE would publish or you want add-in for other encoders - meaning do you plan to use another encoder?
    If its first problem - you can do simple thing - turn SWF verification on - make exception for FMLE and have FMLE add-in - in this case only valid clients would be able to connect - even other encoders wont be able to connect - so if someone cant connect there is no way they can publish.

  • What is the best video codec for use in Keynote?

    I need to play some videos in a Keynote presentation. They can be 320x480 if necessary. Is there a recommended codec to use that minimizes playback stutter, dropped frames, bad audio sync and crashing the program?

    David,
    I also am having trouble with video in Keynote. I tried MPEG-4 and H.264 at 640 x 480 x 29.97fps (the "Web Download - LAN" setting in Compressor), but I always get pretty bad stuttering on playback. Is there any magic compression setting I'm missing here?
    I'm playing it back on various machines with the same results - 1Ghz G4 iMac / 1.3 Ghz iBook / Dual 1.42 Ghz PowerMac. None of them have super beefy memory (512 - 768MB) but I'd think the stuttering issue would be with the processor not being able to keep up, no? Or is this task handed over to the video card?
    The luck I've currently had as been with the Motion JPEG video codec. IIRC, it is supposed to be very light on the processor during playback so the overhead of Keynote doesn't seem to affect it as much. The trade off is the video files are huge.
    Thoughts?

  • Whats the best video codec for adding movies to iwev

    I want to add movies but need codec and video size for optimization

    iWeb uses QuickTime formats.
    H.264 video and AAC audio are probably best choices.

  • Sync problems using H.264 video in FCE timeline...please help!!!!

    Okay. I'm reposting this question to see if anyone can help.
    I'm shooting on a Panasonic HDC-HS700 and it's working fine. I use Aunsoft MTS Converter to convert to H.264 so that I can edit my footage in Final Cut Express. When I play back in the composer window, everything looks fine. BUT when I start putting clips in the timeline, the audio and video all out of sync and wacky. I will cut a clip in the composer but when I play it in the timeline the heads and tails are cut a few frames differently and the audio and video is out of sync. So basically, it's all fine in the composer but all messed up in the timeline.
    What can I do to fix this? Should I try converting to a different format? Is this something that would not be a problem in Final Cut Pro??? Please give me any suggestions! I can also provide more information if that would help.

    Hi -
    What is the source footage from the camera?
    If it is HD, then it needs to be converted to Apple Intermediate Codec at 29.97 FPS. The audio needs to be converted to 48Khz AIFF.
    An excellent free convertor is MPEG Streamclip, which is available at
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    H.264 is a acquisition and delivery codec, it is not suitable for editing in any past or current iteration of FCE or FCP. Attempting to edit in H.264 results in the problems you are currently experiencing - and many, many more.

  • Changing video codec for recording

    Hi,
    I am using FMS 3.5 and Flash CS3 (though using action script 2 at the mo)
    What I  have is a simple program that records a webcam and saves the result as an FLV. - Note, I am doing all this locally, NOT over the internet or a local server. FMS is on the same PC as the program.
    OK, all works pretty much ok, apart from 2 things....
    1) The frames per second does not seem to be fixing to 25fps, but instead seems to be around 15fps depending upon which pc I use. I'm using: cam.setMode( 320, 240, 25 ); to set the size and frame rate in flash.
    2) When I get the properties for the resulting flv, it says it is using h.263 codec. Is there a way to change the codec that is used (to say h.264)? Or is this dependent on the version of flash used? ie. would creating it in flash 9 using AS3 give a better quality result?
    Thanks for any help - I'm pretty new at all this so bear with me!
    Tim

    1) For the FPS issue - make sure the camera actually supports 25 fps.  Many webcams only support up to 15 fps.
    2) The encoding in this scenario actually takes place in the Flash Player - the only video codec included in the Flash Player for encode is the Sorenson codec regardless of version of the Flash Player.  You can get higher quality encoding using the Flash Media Live Encoder, but this is a stand-alone application.
