[Asterisk-Users] Video conference apps/appliances?

[Gary]

Oh what would be nice,,,, think about this,,

Come up with a browser based activex or something...

click here for video (forget about the audio for the moment...)

client automatically dials into an asterisk one way video conference.

Now that could be a great way of streaming video now later add some
audio (preferably stereo) and turn asterisk into a multichannel
internet tv station :-)

Heck I am looking for a streaming mjpeg stream for a webcam (using a
sony snc-rz30) via an intermediate server.
