>From Matroska developpers:
 
"Live streaming is the equivalent of TV broadcasting on the internet. There are 
2 families of servers for that. The RTP/RTSP ones and the HTTP servers. 
Matroska is not meant to be used over RTP. RTP already has timing and channel 
mechanisms that would wasted if doubled in Matroska."

Subject: Re: [Live-devel] mediaServer MP4 support

I'm not planning on supporting streaming from 'MP4'-format files anytime soon, 
because: 1/ It'd be a lot of work.  (Live Networks, Inc. is not a charity.)     
 2/ The MP4 file format is patent-encumbered, and unfortunately this company is 
based in a country (USA) in which software patents apply.        3/ We already 
support streaming from 'Matroska'-format files (a file format that is not 
patent encimbered).
So, if you can, I suggest converting to Matroska files, and streaming those.
