VideoLAN Masters,

My project consist of creating a video server which will hold aprox 1000 on demand videos + about 5 broadcasting files. Can anyone drop some knowledge and help me with the following questions:

1)What system I would need for this project *recommended specs
2)ISP speed requirenment T1 up or any other suggestion?
3)VLC vs windows media services from Windows Server 2008 - How would I benefit from VLC rather than just going with Windows Server *besides cost wise
4)anything else to consider?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Regards,
BD
