How to reliably retrieve video+data embedded in one file over network?
I have video and associated data with it such as the time it was recorded embedded by an application into data files (not a video file such as .avi). Multiple clients would have the same application running and would want to retrieve the data file/s they need. The clients could request same or different files. What is the best way to implement this setup?
The approach I have in mind is to have all the data stored on a network drive and possibly implement a solution for reliable data transfer with the least amount of delay (with RTP perhaps?).
My understanding is that RTP is for video/audio type media files only and not data files?
What is the best way to implement this setup? preferably using c++ and qt.

Since Qt comes with Phonon (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/phonon-overview.html), RTP seems to be a self-evident idea - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1852624/play-rtp-video-stream-using-qt and the followups.

thanks jkr. I also came across this page in my web search.
Can you point me to some implementations of data retrieval using RTP? Most implementations I am coming across are for video files. Are there any special considerations to keep in mind for data files?

simple yet great pointers for me to get started!
C++
C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
