I am bald too, just no USA. I looked your old posts just to remember true teen cams times when I was working at met-art, a small "bald guys" world. Was it windows media?
So to answer the question (now that I figured): there was no real "tech" updates in last 2 years, except you should make sure that the H264 codec it is supported, instead of old H263 (sorensen). Lots of old cam software does not yet support H264 video capture on model client yet! And no one declare if they support H264 capture or not! Most uses H263 and video is slower framerate esp. on higher resolutions 640x480+, than it should be with H264. Also H263 does not play in iphone and android.
Flash AS3 to use is:
H264VideoStreamSettings -> setProfileLevel(profile:String, level:String):void
Example: H264Profile.BASELINE, H264Level.LEVEL_2
On the server as others advised, the best it is wowza.
Extra to that, I could tell that you may need to use wowza audio transcoder to support playback to iphone/android devices (it uses cupertino i.e. Apple html5 http streaming, in place of flash).
I am unsure if mark's 2much thing supports playback on iphones yet, but I guess H264 capture there should be.
Just the avice it is in short: make sure capture is H264 and playback works on an iphone and ipad, including audio. If that happens, it is cool and latest.
