As a result of this thread and some research I am becoming interested in this thread. However I have a lot of mythvideo files which are usually Xvid/mpeg-4 or similar, and I would need them to be converted to mpeg-2 to stream them. I am looking through the vlc documentation and it seems to be able to transcode and stream in one operation. It does say it requires considerable horsepower to do this. http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch03.html presently emerging vlc on my desktop to give it a try.
