Yes I saw that and I am interested in it - personally, I love QuickTime above all the
other formats. However, as previously stated, the problem is that our clients
specifically asked that we stream in Real Media (very easy, no problem at all) and in
something that Windows Media Player can play. Therein lies the trouble - Windows Media
player can play .asf .avi and MPEG, but I haven't found a server for Linux that does
any of those yet. See, they know that many Windows users will never bother to download
a QT player or even Real Player in some cases, and they want people to be able to
watch their video right away with no trouble.
Personally that makes me unhappy, I think people should always be downloading the
newest browsers, and getting plugins and stuff. If it was up to me we'd use QuickTIme
and DivX;-) and provide a link to a player :-)
But then I use Linux too so I must be *different* ;-)
Thanks though,
JW
P.S. mp3 is not the same as MPEG - I've noticed many people are confused about that.
MPEG is video, mp3 is audio only.
