This is great. Does anyone know if it's possible to record video using HTML5? I'm looking for a drop in component that will let a person easily record a video from their webcam and am trying to avoid flash.

We had to look into this: the only way to do it in a cross-browser/OS way is to use Flash. Fortunately, it's fairly simple to write a bare-bones Flash app that just creates JS hooks for all webcam functions (though the permission dialog and any video preview still needs to be in the Flash window).

Have you been able to use Wowza with HTML5 using a livestream, not VOD?

Does anyone know what the song/melody playing in the background of the video is from?

Thanks, and it's very apropos they would choose that song. The melody has been stuck in my head for years, probably from some old school 8-bit video game, so it's great to match the song with the melody.
