[streaming] Re: super high bandwidth streaming (30 MBps)

[James Yates]

Sounds to me like this should be possible, given fast enough hardware. 
Also seems that a Multi Programme MPEG2 Transport stream with either MP2 
or H.264 streams would be the best route. I have a 25Mbps Transport 
Stream taken straight from a DVB-T transmission which VLC is quite happy 
to play allowing me to pick which programme I want, so I think it is 
possible. Gigabit is more than sufficient. At 30Mbps stream, 100Mb 
Network would be sufficient. I ran 15 copies of VLC on my PC, each one 
streaming one 8Mbps TS multicast on a Gigabit network without any 
problem, so this should work fine.

    Hope this helps
