I am trying to develop a simple Video Chat app, but I don't know how to Start.

I know there are a couple of ways to do this: WebRTC, Adobe Flex.

But WebRTC is only for p2p and the Adobe Products are expensive.

Do you know better ways to develop a Video Chat? The best would be a small tutorial.

I'm a developer with the easyRTC project. It is WebRTC based (thus no IOS), but it's also easy for most people with a little JavaScript experience to get working.

Currently it's still early-days, so OS and browser support is currently limited. WebRTC is supported by Chrome and Firefox beta on Windows, Linux, Android.
