You might want to bring someone in who has experience with IPTV. Your Rails application would output object tags pointing to the reference movies, which in turn would point to your H.264 RTSP/RTP streams. That's the easy part. You're still going to need the tech. for transcoding, preparing and serving the streams, such as ffmpeg, VLC-server, Darwin Streaming Server etc. It takes quite a while to get up-to-speed with everything on the market, and a considerable amount of time to build the backend solution. I'd say your best bet would be to use a service like Akamai, who will handle RTSP streaming for you. One Sydney Rails guy you should get in contact with is Rex Chung of Ankoder (www.ankoder.com). He just recently launched a hosted video conversion tool which could potentially form some part of the solution you're working on.
