I would like to create a new website for an online Live Wecasts/ Video Webcasting. Today a live webcast is there just about in every place we look on the internet. Most news outlets are now using video to report their news stories in its place of print. But Since last month i am looking some web expert's help for relevant information about on web development and design. Can i get proper information from these experts ?? which is the best website to get above information ????? Which program language best for me? I need more information about good live experts site, if you have any knowledge, please share with me.

Have you looked into flash for streaming?
I haven't actually worked with the whole uploading/converting thing of videos, but i have played around with some streaming through flash. A single google search shows that ffmpeg might be of interest, see also: ffmpeg-php
You should also consider a dedicated server, the brandwidth usage of such a site is likely to require it anyway. All though shared hosting might be fine in some cases, i would check with the different hosts, and inform them about the brandwidth usage you expect, unless you go with the dedicated ofcause. They usually sell you x brandwidth, unlike the shared hosts who claim you have unlimited, which ain't intirely true.
You can find out about the brandwidth usage, by considering how many people are going to view the videos. If its a church website, then its likely mostly to be people from your church, and as such you should be able to give a rough prediction.

In reality I think you would be better off using flash...
Flash would be your best bet. Flash technology has become extremely popular recently.
Also, a good flash video player is essential on your website. You can make the player with actionscript, or just get one from Internet, what I use is this flash video player maker, which is a quick solution.
