As said before it is possible to serve an .avi via appache2. I find that I can enter the URL directly into video player's "Open Stream" dialogue (no need to take the detour via the opera browser). Next I tried to serve a live stream via vlc. vlc doesn't do streaming avi and none of the possible combinations of protocol/muxer/codecs available in vlc resulted in a stream that the player would play (mplayer on the desktop played most of the streams). mpeg1 looked promising insofar as the video player opened the stream and buffered a couple 100k of data. But then it came up with "playback error" before displaying anything. Not much more success with ffserver. According to the example configuration file it should do .avi but it seems to be currently broken in this respect. mpeg resulted in the same result as described abvobe for vlc. In format rm I could get low quality video, but only when the sound was disabled in ffserver. Regards, Reiner
