[mythtv-users] How do I reduce the filesize of videos so they can be streamed to client with 56 K connection?

[cmisip]

I want to be able to watch videos from the home lan when i am on the
road.   I have vpn so I am the only one with access to the home
network.  My laptop has a 56 k modem dial up connection when I am on the
road.  My home lan is connected to a cable modem.  Is there a way that I
can easily convert a nuv file to something that will stream to a 56 k
connection.   What do you guys recommend as far as software for the
video streaming (video on demand)? 

I am looking for a linux solution to stream the video.  The client can
have linux or windows.


If a 56 K connection will not cut it, Is there a way that I can quickly
convert a 1 gig nuv file to something around 100 meg at 320x240.  I have
used nuvexport.  It will convert a nuv file to vcd and then I can use
windows media encoder to shrink it down to 100 meg.  I was wondering if
there is a one step solution in linux to do this.  This way I can bring
the videos with me.  

Thanks for any info you can give
