Red5 Audio Recording

1.4k views Asked by At

I want to record audio stream as mp3 file on server. I know flash media server can do this but I can not afford it.Red5 officially does not allow this. I have done research and found that we can record audio in flv then use ffmpeg to convert this to mp3. Is there any plugin available for red5 that can directly record audio as mp3 without doing conversion process. Can xuggler for Red5 do this.I am using Red5 for the first time so I am totally clueless.

You can't record in mp3, you're only choice is recording the FLV and then use ffmpeg to convert it to mp3

Yes, of course Xuggler can handle the conversion to MP3 but there are ways to encode your stream into MP3 without using a server side process. Have a look at this project that does AS3 enabled MP3 encoding: http://code.google.com/p/as3lameencoder/
