Owww, 27 Megs - guess I'll check this *after* lunch
and get back to you.

There you go, you beat up the weak kid in the class, and
then say he deserved it :)

Basically, ffserver is currently not really maintained (nor
working) though someone is looking at it now, so
maybe a few basic needed items will be fixed - real media
& ASF streaming it seems. 


 That being said, I suspect

Yep, that was the line that was crashing ffserver.
Now ffserver keeps running, but no vlc window pops
up, and then when I quit vlc, I get the module error
below.

[bill at rfa01 bill]$ vlc http://localhost:8090/test1.vob
VideoLAN Client - version 0.2.92-dev_2002-03-22 Ourumov - (c) 1996-2002
VideoLAN

[waiting for a window to pop up - nope - give up ]

module error: requested access module `http' unavailable
input error: no suitable access plug-in for `http/:localhost'


I'll test streaming Dolby_Broadway.vob in a bit and send you
a report.
