Have you considered youtube live streaming? You can easily use ffmpeg
to pull from a video camera, encode to the right bitrate and push to
youtube, who deal with everything else.

Even if you have a camera that encodes directly to MPEG4 (you would
never want to stream MPEG2), it will encode in a high quality setting,
where as you need content with a low enough bitrate to be streamed,
this requires re-encoding.

However, your biggest issue is that you want to switch from a camera
video feed to a a screencap video feed of slideshows and documents,
and then back again. This sounds more like a broadcast TV director
assembling from here and there... this article might be useful:

You would need screencasting to feed the computer screen in to this
system, but it is possible.

I just noticed this is the mplayer list - ffmpeg-user would probably
be more on topic.
