The example you posted looks very nice. I'd be in for that for my community as well (70k members).
BUT...
I have looked into this already.
You don't seem to want to run just another webcam studio site, so 2much is not for you.
You just don't get around a dedicated streaming server to do anything with webcam. Wowza or Adobe FMS. Both cost $1000. Red5 is more difficult to set up and not very well documented, so I never tried it.
The streaming server software eats resources. So you need a dedicated server for it with ample bandwidth. On top of that, you would need to get a webcam chat script. You could use the free Adobe Stratus service instead, which allows connections via P2P and would therefore allow you to run the site with little to no bandwidth and without having to purchase a streaming server. I have not found a script that supports Adobe Stratus, yet. If you find one, let me know. Also, I've heard that Stratus can be unreliable, so having a FMS as a fallback is probably the best option.
