On the video side, I've used vlc as a client on my Mac quite a bit.  With 
the vlc streaming server though, what common players (read: Windows) can 
view the stream?  The last time I looked at all this mess, I had a hard 
time figuring it out.  I still run a real networks freebie server.  It's a 
bit of work to setup, but the one I'm running is FreeBSD native and it 
works well.  It really wants to run as root, so there's some fiddling with 
ipf there to redirect the standard rtsp port to something the priv-less 
real server user can grab.
