I'll look in there.

Yeah, but it buffers up the data so it has a cache while it plays. Those
were really small, but try a larger stream and it's possible to get it to
break up during heavy loads, at least I would think, I haven't tried it.

I worked a short contract at Cisco about 5 or 6 years ago, and met the
guys that developed mpeg4ip. Cisco allowed them to work on the code, but
it was always available as-is with no ties to Cisco.
AFAIK, there is no video software that doesn't infringe some patents of
some type, and why so many folks are afraid to get near the resulting
software, such as Cisco in this case.

Was hot here, and now it's cooling down *some*. It was muggy and raining
yesterday, but today is not too bad...
