New Vp8 coder. v-0.9.5

Well, vp8 codec can be used with nsvcap thanks to nsv_coder_vp8.dll. I haven't tested yet but I think old nsvcap (from NSVtools_repack.exe) can broadcast via shoutcast without problems. I don't know what Vidcast.exe can do, looks to be a similar application like nsvcap. Unfortunately I don't have any camera in this PC to make some tests right now. The old vp62 encoder did his job several years, we hope that vp8 has a better image quality at the same video bitrate comparing with vp62. I'm using it since 2004 after I have discovered the solution here on winamp forums.
We are waiting also a brand new version of NSVTOOLS, that one i'm using is the last build ever made, pls correct me if I'm wrong.
Also in these years I couldn't find a proper solution to put the streaming in a web page.
As far as I know, the only one player is Rava's made by AOL who can connect to a shoutcast server which is broadcasting vp62 content but is working with IE only without support for firefox or other browsers. Somebody told me that there is also a flash solution, never found it, never saw a live stream example in a web page (swf) somewhere.
I've read also about red5 but i don't understand exactly what it does and seems to run under linux only http://red5.org/wiki/Install
Anyway I was curios about this new vp8 codec and for a solution to mount a shoutcast stream into a web page power by a flash solution (even for vp62 if it works will be outstanding).
My previous post here was several years ago so if I'll make this post into a wrong section please accept my apologies.
