not a guru, but these a multi-threaded web server is not something I
would think of Rebol being good for.

all aside from " parsing new MPEG4 format to convey video
title/chapter/navigation data to client" which I don't know of any
clients for, so you'd have to build your own (or perhaps hand off to
Rebol for this task, which I think Rebol would be good at) I would
recommend erlang for all those other tasks:
http://www.erlang.org/ the language distribution looks pretty big but
that's cause you get a lot of extra libraries, tools etc. with it that
you might not need.
But when you talk about
1. multi-threaded web server and load balancer
look at Yaws, http://yaws.hyber.org/
There's a comparison between yaws and apache at
http://www.sics.se/~joe/apachevsyaws.html but it doesn't seem to be up
right now.
Actually one of the side projects I have at home is communicating
between erlang and rebol in various ways, as I find the languages
complementary.
