Download AIM Beta for Windows
From the site:
Now you can see and hear your buddies with Live Video IM. All you need is a webcam, microphone, and a broadband connection.
I am told that it uses QuickTime but is apparently not interoperable with iChat AV. Also, not sure if it works with the Mac either. Wonder how it compares…?

dvbsnoop – A DVB Stream Analyzer Tool
dvbsnoop is a DVB / MPEG stream analyzer program, which enables you to watch (live) stream information in human readable form.
Its purpose is to debug, dump or view digital stream information (e.g. digital television broadcasts) send via satellite, cable or terrestrial. Streams can be SI, PES or TS. Basically you can describe dvbsnoop as a “swiss army knife” analyzing program for dvb, mhp, dsm-cc or mpeg – similar to TCP network sniffer programs likesnoop on Sun Solaris or tcpdump under Linux.
The Dead Media Project consists of a database of field Notes written and researched by members of the Project’s mailing list.

Wired News: Radio Ready to Go Digital
Not much about this in the media or anywhere else for that matter. Read about iBiquity some time ago, seems interesting but I don’t quite understand why the FCC choose a product from a single vendor instead of an open standard for this. Can someone fill me in?
From the article:
Digital radio has been used for several years in Canada, Israel and parts of Europe. In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission voted in October 2002 to adopt iBiquity’s technology as the standard for digital broadcasts, and allowed radio stations to begin broadcasting digital signals in addition to traditional analog signals.
Stations eventually will be able to broadcast two separate FM programs on one channel simultaneously, thereby offering customers more programming options. Listeners also will be able to save their favorite tunes and programs and replay them when they want.
Informedia-II Digital Video Library
Some nice research being done at CMU.
From the site:
The overarching goal of the Informedia initiatives is to achieve machine understanding of video and film media, including all aspects of search, retrieval, visualization and summarization in both contemporaneous and archival content collections.
The base technology developed under Informedia-I combines speech, image and natural language understanding to automatically transcribe, segment and index linear video for intelligent search and image retrieval. Informedia-II seeks to improve the dynamic extraction, summarization, visualization, and presentation of distributed video, automatically producing ‚Äúcollages‚Ä? and ‚Äúauto-documentaries‚Ä? that summarize documents from text, images, audio and video into one single abstraction.
IO2 Technology :† Heliodisplay- Interactive Free-Space Display
From the site:
The Heliodisplay projects full color streaming video into free space (i.e. air). It is plug-and-play compatible with most video sources (TV, DVD, computer, etc.). These non-holographic images can be fully interactive, allowing a hand or finger to select, navigate and manipulate — as if it were a virtual touch screen.
How does it work…?
What’s New in QuickTime 6.4 For Mac OS X
Too bad the only place I found a link to this is in an old message to the QT4Java Dev List. Apple REALLY needs to update their QTJava Docs and information on their website.
