record video and audio via a live webcam
I love the FLV player ...I love the FLV player and wanted to inquire about a new project to have an embedded flash player that can record from a users webcam and microphone. I think it would be very popular for personal websites and commercial websites alike.
This would be embedded just like the FLV player but it would allow the user to hit a record button, review their recording, and hit save to submit it to the webmaster. It could be used for webmasters to allow their visitors to leave video and/or audio messages for any reason: feedback, guestbook, etc. There are a few products out there but none that are open source and none that are free for non commercial use. Especially because FLV player is able to achieve playback of files without a flash video server, I think there would be a high demand for it written by Jeroen. I personally would donate $100 towards its development.
Examples are
Wintechmedia's Flash AV Recorder - expensive ($200)

Userpane's Webcam recorder - looks good but the actually swf and media are on the userpane site
