looking for web basied encoder for webcam

looking around for a web biased encoder that will take the feed from a webcam and send it to wowza. I found webcam.swf but the quality is very very low, thir has to be something out these, the simpler the better.

any ideas or pointers?

Hi,

Do you have Wowza installed? Take a look at our example webcam player/encoder, which is accessible in the Wowza installation folder:

[install-dir]/examples/WebcamRecording/FlashRTMPPlayer/player.html

The player is also hosted here:

yes i looked at that and a serrate webcam.swf the problem i have is they seem to stream at a very small size , so if i low up the image to 640 x 380 t is extreemy pixalated, i dont see any easy way to increase the cam quality. im using a Logitech c920 so it can go all the way upto 1080

Also I want to get away form flash and use HTML 5

how about transcoding a WebRTC push? or try googling the javascript implementation of ffmpeg (only for the very brave)
