Sorry for the wild goose chase! Please note that Theora has the advantage of being an open format! I mention this because Raymond originally asked for an "open source" solution. And anyone with the Java Plug-In installed can take advantage of the "Cortado applet" viewer: http://www.flumotion.net/cortado/ Realize too that the VLC player (theora capable) is available on all platforms: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html There is also a Theora plug-in for Quicktime: http://xiph.org/quicktime/ Example streaming content can be found here: http://ystv.york.ac.uk/watch/live.php Example (downloadable) ogg files can be found here: http://stream.fluendo.com/archive/6uadec/vilanova.html HTH, --Tom
