Hi, we're evaluating flumotion, because we're thinking about streaming talks and workshops from the next debian conference, debconf6 in may 2006 in Oaxtepec, Mexico (see http://www.debconf.org or http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/) Our tests with ffmpeg2theora have shown that encoding to theora takes lots of cpu power. (Encoding a 12min. DV-file takes about an hour on 2ghz i386 hardware...) So I would like to ask you about recommendations about the hardware requirements for streaming ogg theora in realtime from DV input. Our setup in mexico will have a small uplink (what is the minimum we'll need? 500kbps for one stream ? (of what quality?)), which sends the encoded streams to (a) distribution server(s) with good bandwidth on the internet. So we will need powerful encoding machines on site in Mexico - how powerful must they be ? I'll be glad to hear any other advice you have. Please cc: me, I'm not subscribed. Thanks for your advice, Holger
