The FlashCanon

From the site:

The On2 Video Publisher for Adobe Flash 8 is a web browser plug-in that enables users to encode video content (either pre-recorded or captured live from a camera) in Adobe Flash 8 format and upload the video to a website or file server.

To encode video, all the user needs is a web browser–nothing else!

If you are a web site that supports or wants to add video sharing, blogging, or uploading, the On2 Video Publisher offers the following advantages:

• Incredibly simple to use - drag, drop, watch!
• Decreased upload time. Users upload compressed video instead of large, uncompressed (or poorly compressed) files.
• Decreased server load. You won’t need racks of dedicated servers to compress uploaded video. Processor-intensive encoding is done on the user’s own computer!
• The best video quality, period. Users upload videos that are already converted to Flash 8, saving you the trouble of trying to support conversion of every videos format under the sun, such as Windows Media, Quicktime, Real, MPEG-2, H.263, and so on.
• Speed. There is no waiting for a server to transcode the video. Once encoded video is uploaded it can be instantly posted on your site for viewing.
