All things related to multicast

[Frank Fulchiero <>]

The session name in the SAP list is ConnecticutCollege MPEG4.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback, and to CEN for fixing things.
Incidentally, right now much of the video is from miniDV source, made  
into a DVD (compressed to MPEG2), and then analog out of a DVD player  
to VBrick, which compresses again to MPEG2 or MPEG4.
So, there are quite a few bottlenecks compromising quality. There are  
better possible signal paths, which we did not have time to implement  
yet.
