Very strange.  If I download the file (get it from 
akami at 15mb d/l, so I now bandwidth is good), and 
then ffmpeg encode it locally, i get some errors, but 
nothing to worry about.

If put the file locally on a web server, it reverts 
back to the original issue posted.

So my assumption is their is something wrong with the 
network http-loading of a mp4 or something (in 
ffmpeg)??

As I need to transcode on the fly, and would be a 
complete waste (as well as break the application of 
haveing realtime transcoding) of resources to have to 
d/l files, wait for the d/l to complete, then 
transcode.

I know with VLC I can treat a file "as a stream", 
which allows me to point to a file, and have it d/l 
progressively, and vlc just works as data comes in.  
Prob just treating the file as an open PIPE.

With ffmpeg, other than using a PIPE (which cant be 
done as PIPE's are not seekable), im not sure if I can 
treat a file as a stream.

In any case, the issue seems to be in the network code 
of things in ffmpeg as you suggested.
