programs (mythbackend, etc.). It's nice setting of 19 puts it at the lowest priority in the
food chain. When everyone else is finished, transcode gets it's CPU time.

If you are just using it on your local LAN to view content on your windows
boxes, I would think that the best solution would typically be using the
dsmyth directshow filters to stream the video using the mythtv backend.
The only issue I would expect would be on some 802.11b networks, depending
on how much traffic you have on it, or if you are talking about HDTV. I
would expect far less CPU usage and better quality. Mythweb can already
support dsmyth for a nice interface.
MythStream seem better suited to streaming your myth video over the Internet I would think.
