Hello;

   If you are planning on doing this, and streaming it, then you should read

http://www.stardust.com/content-engineering/whitepapers/fgs_01.htm

and build a layered protection system in from the start, so that it doesn't have
to be implemented after the protocol is designed as in the MPEG 4 case.
