Doesn9t work with live streaming. Yes it is easy to encode to different
formats and bit rates, but the glaring deficiency in QT is a single bit rate
per cpu. Encoding a movie for viewing later is far different than a live
stream. It is like saying walking and riding a bicycle or the same, more or
less they both get you from point a-b; but they are very different.
