It seems that the only way you can stream things is if you use mythweb 
or if you set up video lan to stream things on the host machine and then 
receive it on your windows machine, is that right?  So, using dsmyth and 
then just clicking on a file on windows explorer from a shared directory 
on a mythtv machine is totally different.  I'm asking because right now 
when I view video on my windows machine it stutters at times and plays 
with low framerate.  The sound continues on at normal speed and the 
video completely goes out of sync in a very short time.  It seems that 
my video files (about 8000Kbits/sec for rtjpeg, 3000Kbps for mpeg4) are 
taking too much bandwidth as windows is treating them as if they were 
local files and it can't get the data off the myth machine fast enough, 
since the myth machine is on 802.11g wireless.  Even then 8000kbps 
shouldn't be enough to cause any problems though so I don't fully 
understand it.  Lastly, VLS cannot play rtjpeg yet it seems, even with 
the dsmyth filters installed, while windows media player can.  Does 
anyone have a good player suggestion they use for this stuff?
