Clarifying a bit; I want to send several live cameras from an event onto the web. Some 3-5 cameras will record the material live, and i want to be able to broadcast the streams to a number of paying viewers.

The DNA Lounge in San Francisco provides live video from several cameras using RealProducer. Check http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/src/realproducer/ for some background info. Michael

Check out apple.com - their Darwin Streaming Server is also available for Linux (and free of charge). I'm not sure what to do about Linux *viewers* for the streamed content, or content providers, but the reflector and stream manager works well under Linux. As far as capacity planning, that depends *entirely* on what you stream. Any computer made in the last, say, 5 years should be able to serve the content. If you need re-encoding on the fly, you'll want something made within the last 3 years or so. Pick your codec based on 1) what the server can support and 2) what the likely clients will support, followed by 3) what will take the least bandwidth. I'm big on DivX;-), personally, but other codecs are good too. Calculating bandwidth demand is pretty easy - take the size of a representative file (in bytes) and divide by the running time of that file (in seconds) and multiply by 8. That's the number of bits per second your file will consume. Now multiply that by the number of clients you expect to serve. At this point, you begin to see why it'd be great if more of the Internet supported multicasting... --Danny, aware that multicasting isn't all roses - but it would be here :)
