Thanks, I have a better understanding how this works. Hopefully I 'll have this up and running this weekend. I do know that the MediaMVP works because I've used it with Windows XP Pro over my LAN (but my video capture cards are installed in a Linux only box). I already know how to stream video over my network from one Linux PC to another with VLC so now I need to see how well this works streaming my video capture cards to the MediaMVP. BTW, is there a way to automate the installation of mvpmc to simplify this? BTW, I do have OpenWRT installed on my router but I don't intend to configure it for mvpmc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
