I work for Sportvision and I do the live internet production of our Ironman coverage. We encode the entire finishline stream in Real Video - about 8 hours @ 350 megs. We use a script to generate files based on the timing data that reference the correct minute or so of video around the finisher. Go to live.ironmanlive.com to check it out. Go to any athlete that finished any race and you can watch them finish!
