I did something similar to this a few months ago using nginx, rtmp, and vlc in hopes of making an HTML5 only streaming service. In the end, I found out that using a VM for transcoding is not a great idea. Having a > 3 minute lag time between input and output was... difficult to work with. I'm not willing to pay for Amazon's transcoding service because of uh, student wages, so I scrapped that project. Fun weekend project at the very least.
