Thanks for the info. Since I posted I managed to get the programs encoded
correctly to play back on the BB but I've not
been able to test if I can stream them yet. Are there any 'public' darwin
streaming servers I can connect to to test if the BB will even consider
streaming a video file? Before I attempt to setup my own.

Thanks
Mike
