How to stream a video on a webpage? H.264 format VLC player? or embed a video viewer

I was wondering if there was a way to basically embed some sort of video viewer (ex. VLC or any player that supports H.264 format) into a web browser. Basically, the live cam will feed data, and the viewer will be configured to get the data from a specific IP address and port number.

Any Advice appreciated, D

If you have a h264 stream, the easier is using the FlowPlayer Flash player.

You can also embed VLC using this jquery plugin : http://revolunet.github.com/VLCcontrols (needs VLC activex or mozilla plugin installed)

Also note some IP webcams (like AXIS 206/207) provides MJPEG streams (yes, motion jpeg) or SWF streams which is very handy.

You can easily use libvlc or libvlcnet (wrapper for .net) to convert the incoming streaming in a flash streaming. Then you can embed the flash streaming in any flash player in the web. Doing this you avoid the need of instaling extensions to the clients browsers.

Paid: solutions are Live RTMP Flash Streaming services.
Free: Try Justin.tv.
Free http://nchsoftware.com/broadcam (the only requirement is link back)

If you will stream from your own Computer/server the uplink speed will be bottleneck.
