The streams are being re-encoded as I type. What I really need help with is 
what particular encoding methods will avoid the peaks of bandwidth that 
happen within streams. obviously, CBR encoding is a start. Would avoiding 
keyframes help too. Maybe this wouldn't actually help this problem, and do 
please say if you think so.

I will deffinatley try on a network with a (deffinatley) known bandwidth 
soon and the packages you suggest. We have been working with Mencoder so 
far.
