>> Hi Andreas,
>> we made good experience with the open source based red5

>>
>> HD will be included in the 0.9 version of the red5 server.
>> Demo is available:

>>
>> We´re using it since version 0.6.3 and the server runs very relaibale.
>> We´re streaming around 1000h a week of flash web lecture
>> recording video.
>>
>> I believe it´s worth to give it a try.
