| You're going to be more net-bound than CPU bound, so I wouldn't expect the 1.6Ghz to be a major issue. But I personally wouldn't pay $99 for a server. |

Is that because it's relatively too expensive or you simply don't have need for one? Being able to install Red5 and stream videos at a reasonable speed in South Korea is a deal breaker for me. |

It's both. I wouldn't 99K a month for a computer. Damn - you could buy one and just pay for the extra connection cheaper than that. But I don't have a need for
streaming videos, either.
If it were me, I'd probably buy another computer and run it out of my apartment, probably on the same network until I ran out of b/w at which point I'd upgrade the line.
$400 would buy a decently fast system, especially if I used the same keybd/mouse/video for my everyday computer with a kvm switch. |

Thanks martypants, setting up a home server seems like an interesting project, but I'll be in Ireland soon.
Offering hosting in Korea seems like an interesting idea. There are a few people who run websites for a Korean audience. I guess you could cover the costs of your own server requirements by selling space to others.
..maybe. |

I see what you're saying, but I don't think YouTube supports video capture (you can upload a video, sure). There seems to be issues with speed and YouTube streaming in Korea (although I'm not limited to YouTube as the providor). If you look at the features at Riffly.com then you'll know what I want to emulate, the users webcam stream is recorded directly onto the website and then embedded as a comment. I'd like to use Riffly, however I haven't been able to contact them and they haven't updated their twitter feeds in a long time. |
Viddler supports video capture. I thought YouTube did too but not sure now that I think about it. I used Viddler to record a short vid off my webcam just the other day. Cool thing about Viddler is it let's you use your very own branding rather than having someone else's logo splashed on your videos.
UStream's doing some interesting things with web video, as is Wetoku (based in Korea too, but they're still very much in Beta). http://seesmic.tv/ sounds pretty close to what you were describing with the link to Riffly.com. Seesmic's been doing that sort of in-line video comment ability for a while, but lately they're moving into other areas of business. |

Wow, you seem to be familiar with this area. I remember checking out a few of those services and think they require people to register with their website before recording. I wanted everything integrated on my website, so that users could record from the website without having to register on an external website.
Riffly doesn't require users to register on riffly.com, just the website administrator. Maybe I'm wrong about the other services though. I'll look into those links further. Thanks (it was particularly nice to learn Wetoku is based in Korea). |

Ahhhhh, I see what you're going for now. Yeah, the services I recommended probably wouldn't work for you. Sorry I didn't get what you were saying earlier
I've been doing some experimenting with doing video stuff on my personal blog. I've done so many ambitious website projects in the past that have gone nowhere so I'm just sort of embracing it as a hobby without pressuring myself and will see where it goes  |
