I dont really know much on improvement but some says it does save badwidth by streaming directly from server and you dont have to download to pc (like normal apache streaming)

I have test this on a large video file up to 200mb flv (quite hq) and the result is much more better than normal apache server. But there is only 1 thing which is buggin me right now.

I wonder if mencoder caused some video unable to be skipped (seek bar). Seems like the main is nothing related to streaming server but more on how the video is converted. Perhaps the command line to convert video need to be improved?
