What's the quickest and easiest way for me to enable video streaming on IIS 7.5 (Win2K8 R2). I will use ffmpeg to convert the videos to whatever format they need to be in, and I'm planning to use the JWPlayer to play them. The videos need to HTML5 compatible so they can be viewed on iphone & ipad.
You don't need to use any special streaming solution for HTML5, but for Flash you would need to implement a pseudo streaming module on your web server. Here is some more information - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28855/pseudo-streaming-in-flash

I have set up an ASP.NET MVC5 video upload-conversion-watching site, and I need it to function on iPhone. The two formats I support are webm and flv;
I am NOT implementing .mp4 format due to the licensing requirements.
Is there an iPhone app, JavaScript library, or an extension that will allow the video to be played programmatically by my site, or an external iPhone application that can do it. The potential user base varies wildly in terms of technical experience, so any method will need to be relatively simple to follow. It would obviously be best if there were a way I could do it automatically, but I will take anything at this point.
I'm looking for a simple mp3 control, my project is an ASP.NET web site (VS2008/C#), I've searched a lot but there was no luck, how can I give my users a small mp3 player control which enables them to pause/stop/change music? I want it to be usable in all major browsers, and of course no Silverlight as SL is still not widely supported, what are my options?
thanks
Without knowing more details here is my suggestion.
You can use one of the many open source flash players available. These players can play MP3's. Flash is installed by more than 90% of all browsers. You could also use a service like HulkShare that will allow you to upload your files then give you the HTML required to embed it into your site.
I wish to do screen sharing application using as3 as the part of one project.
how to get screen sharing video using as3. Thanks.
Screen sharing with flash is already possible with LiveCycle Collaboration Service. Read this article for more info
Update:
LiveCycle Collaboration Service is now known as Influxis Collaboration Service
AS3 does not support this per se. There are some solutions that use java or other technologies to stream through a streaming media server such as Flash Media Server (I'm guessing Fuze Meetings uses something like this), but you cannot do this with just the Flash Player alone. Adobe's Connect Now supports some screen sharing through their Acrobat.com service.
ScreenCamera SDK is definitily your best option here. It installs a camera on the system just like a regular webcam to which you can connect using Flex. ScreenCamera SDK remains completely invisibe to the end user so it looks like your app is doing all the video capture and recording and sharing.
You can test it from here:

I think this is the simplest way to do what you want to do,
Suppose you have an encrypted video file and the associated AES key. Is it possible to play that video in a flex AIR application without saving the decrypted version of the file? How?
If you do go the DRM route, I believe the Flash Media server supports all this.
Yes, you can.
The easiest way would be to use flash access or flash media server as others have suggested.
The hard way is to create everything yourself using NetStream and the appendBytes method. With appendBytes the data for the video can come from anywhere in any form and it is up to you to put it into the correct form to be played.
Take a look at this question on appendBytes:
In AS3 while using NetStream for video playback how do I seek when I use appendBytes
If you are protecting content, being adobe, I suspect that AIR will have some form of DRM api that you can use.
This returns alot of data about protecting videos in Flash/AIR and other adobe products.
I am working on an ASP.Net application and I want users to be able to take a picture with their local webcam and then upload it to the server.
I can, of course, rely on users doing this manually via their locally installed software, save the image as a file and do a normal file upload. However, what I really want to do is incorporate it all into a UI in the browser.
I know this means accessing local resources so do I need an ActiveX control or Silverlight or is there something I could do in Javascript for example?
This is initially intended for an Intranet app so I can have control of the client's environemnt, including stipulating the browser etc, which means I can use an ActiveX control if I have to. However, it would be nice if I could write this in a generic way so it could be used in an internet app generally (happy to stipulate that it only works on Windows clients but would be good to get it to work in FireFox).
Thanks.
The only acceptable and universal way to this for now is Flash/Flex application. Flash player presets literally in every browser in the world and all of them has such capability.
VideoCap Pro is quite popular, and it offers an ActiveX version, have you checked it out?
This sounds very suspicious to me. You realize the nefarious applications this could be applied to, right? A web page that when a user browses to it, unknownst to them, their webcam snaps a pic of them. ... I don't like it.
You could use the Nimbb API to do the webcam video recording inside a browser.
It is possible to get the image from client webcam in asp.net, you have to install the Silverlight 4 with Visual Studio 2010:
