Add streaming feature

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Add the ability to stream a video by turning sinthgunt into a stream server 
(via ffserver). Then you would be harnessing the true power of ffmpeg!! :)

This is a excellent idea. I guess it will take some time to compile a xml file 
with the various settings combinations for video formats, but once it is done 
it would be great.

Thank you for contributing with that idea, Tom. 

Perhaps you could tell us exactly what usage scenario you had in mind.  Do you, 
say, want to stream to mobile devices? What video/audio formats would you like 
to be able to use?

I have never worked with ffserver before, so perhaps you could share a simple 
howto with us. The best one I could find was 
http://www.organicdesign.co.nz/Simple_video_streaming_with_ffserver, but that 
has ffserver 
running in daemon mode, which I guess is not what we want.

Best regards,
Kaare

mobile use would be the main one, but also streaming h.264 as mpeg2 for clients 
which don't support h.264 etc...

I wouldn't be a good person to do a "how to" on ffserver, as I have actually 
never got it working well!!

This is probably why I saw your project and thought "nice ui wrapper for 
ffmpeg, shame it doesn't do ffserver" :P
