that's a good point: I wonder how much of the broadcast output *is*
encoded in real-time? all of it?

after all, live programming is in the minority on BBC1-4, and assuming
things sit on sensible boundaries and are pre-packetised, you
shouldn't *need* to... in theory. I can envisage some nasty workflow
issues, mind, especially if chunks of the chain pre-date DVB's
deployment.

...or is this one of the (secondary) goals of the tapeless production project?
