Hiya.
I'd like to host small parties for me and 2-3 of my friends, where we sit down and watch video over SL. Problem is, the only solution I've heard is either Darwin Streaming Server for Mac, or a very juryrigged combo for Windows.
Is there a better, smoother way to produce a video stream into SL based on various video files (not just quicktime) on my hard drive, and/or DVDs? I wouldn't be adverse to rigging up some sort of convert-to-low-bitrate-quicktime, then serve-off-mini-webserver-app if there's no way to stream, but I don't even have software that'll do that. Basically, where do I start?
I've already figured out streaming AUDIO, and I'm aware of the bandwidth problems; I don't mind chopping down the bitrate in order to make this work, really, I don't need high quality, I just want it to work.
