OT: Quicktime Streaming Server on LInux

[Klaus Major]

Hi Richard and all,

> 340, full color, 30 fps)

please don't forget that you can even save some MBs if you encode  
your moves with only 25 or 24 fps,
if possible, maybe even lower rates, let your eyes decide.

30 fps is what the US TV standard "NTSC" is using and not really  
necessary for even "heavy action" in movies.
DV and the european TV standard "PAL" use 25 fps and "Film" (as seen  
in cinemas :-) 24 fps.
