i am trying to use flash media server(fms) together with flash 8 to record web cam. it all worked fine except that the streams are all saved under the appdir which is c:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\applications\recordlive\streams\Instance

If all the files are saved under the place, then how do I stream them when I on my apache and stream them from there since it is not the root directory set in the apache? Is there a way to change the directory so that the flv files will be saved somewhere else?

thanks. 🙂
