Re: [school-discuss] open source MPe streaming?

David -

No worries.  We all trip up on names.

To continue, http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qtss/ has the info
about the Darwin QT Streaming server v 4 for Linux and I think this would
serve as a wonderful platform.  Of course, we have to find a way to 
encode the contents in the first place and I need to find out about that.

In the meantime, I am working with the Singapore Computer Society 
(www.scs.org.sg) to run a weekly one hour audio-webcast of a computer/geek
IT talk show.  I am working out the technical details of this and I am 
inclined to use ogg for the audio.
