This still seems to be what Macromedia calls "progressiv download", dont
know why they write the http streaming cache to the harddrive, mplayer
doesnt do this (but you can have "progressiv download", watching movies
while they download, with mplayer too, depending on available bandwidth,
the size of the movie).
You can also buy their probably very expensiv "Flash streaming server",
however it is called.
Can we do it with RTSP as well?
And, the old Emily Postman "One Click Streaming" problem, Flash is as
vendor and platform independent as MPEG Audio Playlists (m3u) etc, I
once had some chinese software to create mp3.swfs, is there any open
source or whatever software to create basic video.swfs, metafile or
not, hopefully including rtsp://bla/bla.mp4s etc??
Vendor and platform dependent metafiles and market power.
