What *will* work then. It's ok if the resolution is awful and the resolution
sucks.
I was thinking like: 730MB for a decent DivX-encoded movie, so the LAN has
like 90 minutes to send 730MB. Very feasable. Of course DivX encoding takes
a lot of time, so that's out of the question. But still I was hoping for
some other solution (hence my question in the above scheme: hardware
encoding?)
