    Excellent, thanks.

    I'll be starting it this week.  We'll probably try to get it wrapped up
in a few weeks, but don't have a hard deadline.  Interested vendors should

    I fully agree!  Alas, we need QuickTime 6 compatibility, which rules out
ASP support at this point.  As QuickTime's support improves, I'd like to
look at migrating to ASP or H.264 when feasible.
