I suppose it does that ;) You would have configured ffserver and ffstream.sh 
if it works, right? My PlugIn doesn't create mpeg4 natively.

You can write a "client" that gets the mpeg2-data from the "server" (client 
and server are applications, not computers - they can run both on the same 
one) and gives it to ffserver. FFServer would then be the "real" server that 
your "real" clients get their mpeg4 from.

And, *please* - quote only what you need to be quoted (to get the context 
right) and not the whole mail;)
