Hello Ian,

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately, pre-rendering is really not an
option. I need to render the video in response to user input, inputs
coming from a few other nodes, and the state of the server itself (e.g.
load) - basically a heap of information that I don't have earlier. 

I'll have a closer look at ffmpeg and ffserver though... they might be
going into the direction that I need.

Or does anybody have an idea for a simpler method?

Thanks a lot in advance,
-Wojtek
