[streaming] Re: Has anybody got any reliable low bandwidth videos?

[Dante]

On windows - TMPGenc and FlaskMPEG are the most used methinks.. I've 
also seen this VCDEasy or EasyVCD program on the web recently, and 
promptly lost the URL again, so need to re-find it! But this util 
encodes DVD's to SVCD and VCD's in one operation, rather than the 
ripping, then encoding stages being separate..
