In order to transcode, we'd need to distribute an encoder. That would normally require us to pay quite hefty licensing fees. Some open source software gets away with doing it without paying but there is really nothing stopping the patent holders from sending lawyers in if they thought it were necessary or that they could get some money out of it. The other thing is that the entire TV Server ecosystem is geared towards dealing with transport streams. Either we'd have to extend it to support other stream formats, or find a way to repackage everything into a TS. Either of those things would require a huge amount of work. I'm not aware of anybody working towards doing that... mm</blockquote>
