You know, to give the encoder more time to do the job, so the video doesn't stutter or lag as much/at all?

Or is any stuttering/lagging due to the amount of data being sent, rather than the time it takes between encoding and streaming?

I wouldn't mind having the video start a minute after I clicked the file, if it could guarantee no dropouts in video.

Now that I think of it, there could also be an option to increase the buffer on the received data on the N900 itself, also to accomodate any slowdowns in data received - this could alleviate any stutter on the N900's end as well.

Hope I've made myself clear, sorry I'm not using technically precise language, but I think you'll understand what I mean. Thanks.
Well the N900 profile isn't really optimal, I just had to add one and it's basically n8x0 profile with twice the quality. So that is something that still needs tweaking. As for the cache, there is no gui for changing it, but you can do it from the terminal:

Code:
gconftool-2 -s /apps/knots/cache 8192 -t string
That should set a 8 mb cache. I think I'll make it a profile option so you could have different kind of cache for each profile.

EDIT: support is in git.
