2. The question I don't understand is, why stream?
There are other good reasons, but fundamentally; because of live telivision.
In these days, when a terabyte disk for consumer PCs is about to be introduced, why bother with streaming? It is so much simpler to download (at faster than real-time rates, if possible), and play it back.
That might be worse for download operators, because people may download an hour of video, and only watch 5 minutes :/ -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: colm+pgp@stdlib.net
