In the very early stages but looks interesting..
The souce is available on SourceForge.

Nice information regarding QuickTime and Streaming
s o u n d s c r e e n
A good supplement to the QuickTime and Darwin Streaming Server docs.
TV Studio in a box (or should I say laptop)
Live Channel Features
Interesting product with some very nice features. Live Streaming, TV type output, picture in picture, effect, transistions and so on..
A competitor would be Wirecast which seems to match it feature wise.
A nice little media player for PalmOS
Real’s Helix Server Comparison Chart
Helix: Welcome
I see why people are going with Darwin on the open source server front. The Helix version is crippled.
Music downloads on mobiles
SmartPhoneToday: News: Listen Up, Music On Way to Mobile Phones
Nothing there yet but Motorola has hooked up with Apple (iTunes) and Nokia with Loudeye to provide this..
Live mobile video
Inetcam – iMViewer Mobile Client
Interesting, video streaming for BREW enabled phones. I will have to see this one to believe it.
D-Link Pan Tilt Zoom Wireless Camera
802.11G Wireless Internet Security Camera
Very nice…! I just hope that the MPEG-4 encoding is real, not an MPEG-4 codec wrapped in an AVI file. If they would implement standard MPEG-4 it would open up a HUGE range possibilities.
On2 releases a Video Java Applet
On2 Technologies
Here is what they say:
The TrueMotion Streaming Java Applet 1.0 is a TrueMotion video player written in pure Java. The Applet offers a truly cross-platform solution–it plays on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and other environments. As on other platforms, the TrueMotion codec outperforms all other competing video compression technologies.
Here are my questions:
They say “Streaming” which to me means that it should support live video, does it? Also this is an applet which means that it is available through the browser but I would like it available as a set of classes that I can use in other apps (Java apps), is this possible? Tell me On2, is this possible? Oh yeah, how do I encode video for it?
Helix DRM implements “Broadcast Flag”
Real’s Helix Move
Ok, so, Helix DRM is open source… Broadcast Flag is the broadcast industry’s attempt at making it impossible to make perfect copies of digitally delivered media (DTV).
So my question is, since Helix implements it, meaning that it pays attention and can include the flag in subsequent uses of the media and Helix is open source, why can’t some enterprising coders just modify the Helix DRM to act like it cares but strip the flag out in the final product? I don’t get it… I just don’t get it.
