[mythtv-users] Streaming video from web

[Marc Nicholas]

Videolan also does transcoding.....even on demand transcoding. And 
supports just about every non-closed format there is (MPEG2, MPEG4, 
DivX, Darwin Streaming Server (Quicktime), etc).

(And the corerct URL is http://www.videolan.org -- sorry for my sticky 
fingers).
