Ok I've gotten ffmpeg and tried it but am unable to get it to work. I've
set up the ffserver.conf file to only do .rm files as follows:

<Stream test.rm>
Feed feed1.ffm
Format rm
AudioBitRate 32
VideoBitRate 20
VideoFrameRate 2
VideoIntraOnly
</Stream>

I start ffserver via:"ffserver -f /etc/ffserver.conf &" then I start
ffmpeg via:
" ffmpeg http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm"; and can see frames, size, and
time incrementing
like it's doing something

When I goto  http://localhost:8090/stat.html I can see temp.rm
increasing in bytes received
but when I open realplayer and go to http://localhost:8090/test.rm it
just starts buffering
and never starts playing anything. I assume the same would happen to my
friend on the other
end that wants to watch it. What am I doing wrong? Will .rm format be a
good format to use? 

This all looks pretty cool if I can get it to work.
Thanks
