Mplayer I can understand, self I have a G4/450 dual for 
workstation(running debian PPC) and a dual AMD1800MP (debian x86) for 
fileserver/rendering.
Would it be possible to have 2 pointers one in the beginning of the 
stream incrementing and one in the end decrementing?
Devide stream while compressing and glue it back together after?
