Hello Java people,

Been awhile since I've used Java, and when I did, it was pretty much XML
stuff.

Anyhow, I've got a client who needs to provide web viewers with both
streaming (live) video as well as earlier recorded stuff.

There are solutions for this, but they all seem to involve using a
windows platform for performing conversion(s). (Either the cameras and
microphones reside on a windows PC, or there is some sort of reflector
that runs on a windows PC)

So, I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a product that would work on a
Linux / Java machine end-to-end?

Here is how the network is set up:

Pt. A Pt. B Pt. C
Event Machine[] ----> Web_Server >======= Viewers
(Linux) (Linux) (Java, browser based applet)

Where Pt. A has the A/V equipment (Linux), supplies network
stream(s) to Pt. B. Point B then runs some sort of reflector server
that forwards the events on to Pt. C's.

Pt. B also stores previously recorded material.

Point A and B need to be Linux.

Point C (the viewers) never contacts Point A (the event source) due to
bandwidth concerns.

Anyone know of a toolkit or product for doing this? Commercial is OK
here, and quality counts. (well, as far as one can get out of java
applets for multimedia, I know java isn't exactly the best tool for
this job, but the client wants it java based, I imagine this would be
extremely difficult to write.)

An applet that simply plays MPEG files (with sound) would be best.

Any pointers very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance!
