Well, I got ffserver to work, sort of. The swf streaming is a cool idea, but it seems to only run in 8bit color. Framerates are very low and processor usage is very high, even if I turn off unneeded formats (1.1Ghz Athlon, 99% cpu, load average as high as 1.9). I don't understand why the picture is so blurry if you increase the framerate above 2. I must have a lot to learn about streaming. At least it works and is simple to set up. I'd like to see controls to change inputs and channels of tuner cards. Thank you all for the info. Chris Kloiber
