    Capture/Record Video via Webcam

    Greetings,
    I have a project that requires me to record video from the user's webcam. I've seen many tutorials of how to capture a still frame using the BitmapData API, however, I'm wondering how I can capture several minutes of video.

    Would I have to use the BitmapData API and capture 24 frames per second then send them back to the server for storage? Or is there a built-in API that allows me to capture the video and then store it on the server?

    I imagine using BitmapData would become very resource intensive on the client and create a big file that would be hard to transfer back to the server.

    Can anyone point me towards any tutorials or make recommendations on how to handle this?

    Thanks!

    Now I'm trying to use red5 instead of FMS because, FMS free developer has a 10 user limitation(?)...
