 I have a USB camera that is capable of H.264 on-board compression.  I use
 the following FFmpeg command line to grab the encoded H.264 from the
 camera and put it in a 'flv' container :

 {{{
 ffmpeg -y -f dshow -vcodec h264 -i video="USB Camera" -vcodec copy
 -copyinkf -f flv c:\temp\test.flv
 }}}

 This works as expected and I can view the video using VLC no problem.
 Following this principle I then attempt to stream to a RED5 server using
 the following command :

 {{{
 ffmpeg -y -f dshow -vcodec h264 -i video="USB Camera" -vcodec copy
 -copyinkf -f flv rtmp://192.168.75.34/live/livestream
 }}}

 The RED5 server detects the stream but I am unable to connect to it and
 view it using my basic Python program.

 If I do the same thing but use FFmpeg to carry out H.264 encoding of the
 default capture pin (MJPEG), it will stream correctly.

 Here is the FFmpeg version and log output from the second FFmpeg command :

 ffmpeg -y -f dshow -vcodec h264 -i video="USB Camera" -copyinkf -vcodec
 copy -f flv rtmp://192.168.75.176/live/livestream

 I'm not sure if there is some flag in the command line that I might be
 missing?  Any help with this issue would be much appreciated.
