Set up a Red5 server with FFmpeg for live streaming to iOS

I'm an app developer and I need to implement FFmpeg to transcode/change an rtmp live stream to an http live stream so that I can play it on any iOS device (iPhone and iPad).

My problem is that I am fairly new when it comes to server, media stuff and FFmpeg. And I need to change the server so that I can transcode the live stream on the server side (which I have read that is possible). Any tips, suggestions, sample code, or tutorials would be of great help.

For streaming to iOS devices via HTTP Live Streaming you will need to convert your media (FFMpeg can take live stream as input with rtmp://) using FFMpeg and then divide them into segments. here is a link that can be of help. I haven't tried myself but I think you need to recompile FFMpeg. You could also try MEncoder.
