Wow, thanks for the info. Is there a "how to" somewhere on using VLC this way?!? I don't really know much about it. I assume this sucks up some CPU on the backend side? (with all the on-the-fly transcoding).
<br><br>Thanks again. This is really useful info.<br><br>--<br>Mike<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/2/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jerry Bett</b> <<a href="mailto:bjett80@gmail.com">bjett80@gmail.com</a>
