Subject: RE: Linux vs. Windows Encoding
Here ar www.daypub.com We have a Redhat 6.0 Linux system running the 5.0
version of RealEncoder. It runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Real
Encoder has NEVER crashed or locked up. We also have an MP3 player on the
same machine which also never has a problem. The player plays on sound card
#1, which has an audio cable that feeds into sound card #2 which handles the
encoding.
Linux + 2 Sound Cards + Realencoder + MPG123 player & customer scripting =
VERY RELIABLE.
We do however have the RealServer hosted by a professional hosting company.
Initially we started the station running under NT 4.0, and needed to reboot
literally every single day. Eventually the encoder would freeze up or do
something goofy.
