Im trying out the new and exciting features of chrome canary 19.
I can basically grab the video from the web-cam and set it to a source element for a video tag.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Camera capture</title>
<script>
var localStream;
var localStreamObjUrl;
window.onload = function() {
navigator.webkitGetUserMedia("audio, video", gotStream);
}
function gotStream(stream) {
localStream = stream;
localStreamObjUrl = webkitURL.createObjectURL(localStream);
var video = document.getElementById("selfView");
video.src = localStreamObjUrl;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<video id="selfView" autoplay audio=muted></video>
</body>
</html>
From the example at https://apprtc.appspot.com, we can grab the video and stream it to a peer...
My question is, can I avoid doing all the traversal to get a p2p connection and directly upload the video to a server? Id like to be able to relay the video stream instead of sending it p2p.

You need some kind of streaming media server on the back.
The process would be:
There are numerous free and paid varieties available:
More about transcoding: xuggler
The 'swiss army knife' of media: ffmpeg
and so on.

I have developed video recording solutions for the better part of the last 5 years and contributed a lot to fixing video recording bugs in Red5.
On the desktop you can use a Flash client + a media server (Red5, Wowza, Adobe Media Server) and on the mobile you can use HTML Media Capture.
I gave a detailed answer on a similar question at Record video on browser and upload to LAMP server
