I have a question, which in turn would i think 
resolve all my issues.

Does ffMPEG have such a flag/input type, to allow 
treating the INPUT FILE as a BACKWARD Seekable 
stream, or a simply a STREAM.  Something like VLC 
allows?

Being that you may have a file which is "growing" 
because it is live, ffmpeg will exit out once 
it "sees" the end, but if a flag existed telling 
ffMPEG this is to be treated like a stream, and just 
WAIT for more data?  I could then get away from HTTP 
with ffmpeg, run my background download process, and 
tell FFMPEG to transcode my local file, in stream 
mode.  VLC has this optinos, and is nice, but I 
prefer ffMPEG :)
