Generate a lower defintion copy - but this takes CPU and disk space<br /><br />2. Create a flash video transcode - same issues as above<br /><br />So now I&#39;m going to toy with VLC which should allow me to transcode on the fly to suite the available bandwidth without eating up disc but at the cost of CPU when a stream is running.Grahamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14252137955404256493noreply@blogger.com
