Are we talking about live broadcast video or something like VoD? (video on demand) I'm currently experimenting on doing VOD(RTSP Streams using live.com) using VLC and it works great. Although it needs to use VLC to actually playback the stream. Mplayer is _supposed_ to support playing rtsp streams, (and a Poster - Andreas Lorensen) mentioned that he can do it under freevo using mplayer.), but for my case, playing the streams under mplayer, it will start to jerk after 5-10 seconds and then it complains about dropped frames. (I've tried -dropframe and -harddropframe and both doesn't work). I don't believe xine can play rtsp streams.

Please explain what this is and where I can find this chunk file.

I'll give it a shot. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
