HI

Required List

1. Flash Media Server.
2. Flash Media Encoder.

If you need more information. let me know

how to get this kind of server, how much it will cost. How to set this. Is there any tutorial.

Flash Media Server is Adobe product, its licence depend on the number of users(limitation), you can ask for unlimited users,

Flash Media Encode is free software from Adobe.

JW Player

Single - 1 Website ($89) and Double - 2 Websites ($119 - 33% savings!)

System(Server cost) - i don't know

anyone knows an open source option?

Red5 is an open source Flash server that is written in Java and supports:

It has installers for OSX and Windows. Also, it can be downloaded as a zip file to be used in any OS.
--------------------------------------------

Mammoth is also an open source Flash streaming server that is built with C++ and can run on Windows and *nix OSs.

It can stream all Flash codecs like h263, h264, mp3, vp6, speex, nellymoser, etc.

By using FFmpeg it has has container support for most formats: mov, flv, mkv, mp3 and more.

The server is still in alpha phase but very promising.
