In order to test the streaming capability, I've used a small portion (about 600 seconds) of the movie Home
realised by Yann Arthus Bertrand in 2009, copyright Europa Corp, publicly viewable on many web sites.
I've added a specific page with all the disclaimer
The video here embedded is heavy compressed and has two further level of information reduction: the interlacing (half image every 1/50 of second instead of progressive
and the usage of half horizontal resolution. In the mid 90ies, when the computational power of real time encoders was not sufficient for an acceptable quality at very low bitrate
(at the time a PAL video required mean 6-8 Mbps). We used to call half-D1 this reduced horizontal resolution PAL encodings,
with a Pixel Aspect Ratio of 2:3 (the horizontal double of the PAR standard 4:3) in order to obtain the Display Aspect Ratio of 16:9 despite the number of horizontal pixel have been halved.
The embedded stream can be directly loaded by VLC as http://www.iginomanfre.it/rh_mp4_hD1_750 .interlaced with 92 Kbps AAC-LC stereo 48KHz audio compressed with Rhozet Carbon Coderin this other page (rh_mp4_hD1_750_TS.html) the same mp4 MBFF file is stream with the VLC TS (DVB) engine.
This is a live streaming, not based on a slice downloaded material (such as Dinamic streaming ones are).
The following is the mediainfo analysis of the file stream
