[streaming] Re: video on demand

[Steven]

Hi Ross,

Not sure yet if I can stop being flabbergasted :-) Some STBs don't 
support RTP. They only support native UDP.  That's why I asked for "open 
source MPEG-2/UDP/IP with RTSP support VoD software". From what I see on 
the live.com website, they use RTP, not native UDP.
