Default Streaming Video

There are several options to use video/audio on web sites.

Direct Links
A direct link is a link that points dirctly to a file on the server. This code would be written in your web page. It is generic.
Code:
<a href="videofilename.mov">Click here to view video</a>
Embedded Files
This is the preferred method, because it allow greater control of the media. The code is inserted into a web page, and thus allows you to manipulate the screen size, media player, controls, display, start options, etc.
Code:
<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="videofilename.wmv">
<PARAM name="ShowControls" VALUE="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<PARAM name="ShowDisplay" VALUE="false">
<PARAM name="autostart" VALUE="false">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="videofilename.wmv" NAME="MediaPlayer"
WIDTH="192" HEIGHT="190" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" autostart="0"> </EMBED>
</OBJECT
"OBJECT" is used for Internet Explorer, while "EMBED" is used for FireFox.

Lastly, and the best, is an open-source software package (FREE) called VidioLAN. Superb program, cross-platform compatibility, very nicely written. VLC media player - Overview

I have used VideoLan and it performed well. There is a VideoLAN support forum available (by it's authors) if you run into technical issues. Good people! However, this software is something you don't just install and leave unattended -- it requires maintenance and continual monitoring. If the continual monitoring will become an issue, then I recommend the OBJECT/EMBED option -- here you can create your video, upload, test, and not have to worry about out it for a while. Give them both a try and see what meets your needs the best.

I've used WM Recorder and it works pretty well. You can schedule your comp to record a stream at a specific time, which is good if its a live stream. You can also tell it to chop the recorded files into different size intervals.
