Having your software chop up matches into separate files will be rather useful, but it might still be a good idea to have the entire uncut video somewhere as well, as there are often important and/or funny events between matches.
That is one of the cool things about our software, we have the ability to clip files while they are recording. The original file will stay in tact, but our software will generate separate MPEG clips from the original.

If we could hook into the Field or Sundial, when we get an update with scores we could submit a file to be clipped, tag the file with team and score data, transcode to H.264 and coppied to a webserver auto-magically.

The H.264 files could be streamed from a web-server using flash or just hosted.
