Are you looking to webstream it to browser/clients?  Or record /
rebroadcast via AG?

As Jeremy mentioned, agvcr will record and rebroadcast the AG event, but
will still only be available for AG style clients.

Webstreaming is a bit more difficult since AG is made up of multiple
video feeds etc.  If there is a specific 'presenting' site, then we use
a separate capture box (with a split of the primary camera feed and a
separate 'mixed' audio feed from all the sits) - then used VLC to send
it to a Quicktime/Darwin streaming server.  VLC will also concurrently
record the single video/mixed(all sites) audio for a webstream archive.



Cheers,
