<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Its very simple you could consider two
solutions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1)Encode the live event with helix producer plus
and then send it to a Helix Server which will multicast it to the network(as
long as you have corectlly configured the multicast routing on the server)both
products come from RealNetworks(problems->expensive to buy,comression only in
real format)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2)Install vlc (if you are using linux you must
compile it with video4linux support) and stream with vlc from the server in a
multicast group.(problems->difficult to compile and use if you are a novice
user but it is FREE of any charge)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally I am using both ways on a machine
running SLACKWARE linux and for me vlc is better from Real Products because it
is the only real time streamer.I managed with advanced configurations to have a
delay of 600ms in the transmitted live video.</FONT></DIV>

do I need to do to setup a multicast server or network. Also I was wondering
if this <SPAN class=SpellE>softwhere</SPAN> and such supports P2P so that it
