Thank you, Nick and Peter. Yeah, the FFMPEG option was my backup in case this 
didn't work.

So, if we could fake the mp4 stream to appear like a camera stream then this 
should work wouldn't it? I tried exploring the NetStream instance but there 
doesn't seem to be anything obvious enough to do this. Any way of doing this in 
Air?

Thank you,
David

One way to do it would be via FFMpeg.

You can run FFMpeg via a NativeProcess from AIR. However, the air application 
then needs to be compiled as a native application (exe, dmg).
