Icecast - May 2005 - streaming video

An online Christian radio station who I do some technical work for is
considering branching out to the video streaming arena.  They have free
preaching videos they can broadcast.  They are only familiar with Windows and
want to stay with that.

I think I can talk them into using Theora & Icecast2, but the 1 million
dollar question is how does one take several high quality MPEG or AVI videos,
re-encode using Theora and stream on the fly.

What they need is something like Oddcast for Winamp but works for videos. 
Winamp can play videos.  Are there any options at this stage for Windows?

Regards,
Ross Levis.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure ezstream for windows can stream theora.  Whether it's 
complex enough for their needs I guess will be up to them.

Oddsock has a howto for using ezstream to stream theora, I can dig out the 
URL if you can't find it.

I think everything listed there can be done with it under windows, you 
might need to check with him.

Geoff.
