I'm working on a modified version of dvbstream: it includes in the server 
part the TS to PES from Klaus Schmidinger (VDR author) and a smart PES/RTP 
encapsulator and the client try to mask the errors that may occour on an 
Extended Lan, for instance the frame dropping, by  repeating the last 
correctly received frame and by the estimation of the PTS. If you need some 
help in developing your application, let me know.
