I'll definitely try that. Writing a small script to do the conversion is
not an issue, I'll just have to figure out how to configure the
webserver appropriately.
About streaming I definitely don't know anything,
but mplayer for
example will happily start playing after it's filled its cache (the
size of which can be given on the command line) and doesn't wait
until the whole file is downloaded.
It's probably not actually streaming I need, just that the file transfer
starts before the conversion is finished. Not sure if there's anything
special I need to do to make sure it does, but I guess I'll find out
once everything else is in place...
Thanks,
