Live Video Streaming with Ubuntu Server

[stoute]

I am starting a company and know that the Windows Server 2008 RC2 already has this capability built into it but I would like to cut costs when I am first starting and would like to see if I can use Ubuntu server rather than dropping 600$ per server.

I am going to be streaming a live feed from either a URL or a video capture device like you can with the TV-Tuner cards and Ubuntu desktop. Has anyone set up a streaming feed through the server using a TV-Tuner Card or USB audio/video capture device? Any advice would be awesome and greatly appreciated.

That's possible using the VideoLan Streaming solution here's a link http://www.videolan.org/vlc/streaming.html

If you'd like that I help you to setup that that's ok.

That's awesome and very similar to the windows server set up. I'd love any assistance with this set up.

Yes it's very similar to Windows.
