I believe video encoding profiles are in the process of being implemented as a framework. Ronald Bultje is doing these. Once these are done, I will add them to Istanbul. In the meantime, I will only offer Ogg and hence no "codec" options. This is to promote the use of free codecs, and yes there is a way for mac os and windows people to watch these videos just like there is a way for them to watch flumotion streams.
I am almost ready to release istanbul 0.1.1 which will include many improvements including the option to stream the video to icecast2, do the actual encoding later (after stop is clicked) and UI cleanups.
