If you want to play in this space then knowing about mplayer and
mencoder seems to be a place to start.
I'm using debian, but there doesn't seem to be a package. Never fear,
after the stuff I did last night it wasn't hard to install as all the
prerequsits where already present.

I want to join 4 AVI files I made this afternoon.
I then want to host the movie on my web site as a streaming file that
people can view. ie - I don't want the user to have to download the
whole thing before they can start watching like you do with a mpg file.
Can anyone point me in the right direciton?
What tool do I use to join the files?
What tool do I use to convert the file in to a streamable file?
What file format does the file have to be in to be streamable?
Cheers Don
