MP3 and MPEG-4 with the Darwin Streaming Server

STREAMING AHEAD

Author(s):

Apple’s Darwin Streaming Server is a free version of the commercial Quicktime server. It can handle the seminal MP3 and MPEG-4 formats, and it has a web front-end.

Video streaming is still a fairly uncommon application on Linux. Free servers often have the disadvantage of supporting only their own obscure formats, whereas commercial products are often prohibitively expensive. The Real server, for instance, works really well, but it costs a few thousand dollars.

Free Server for MP3 and MPEG 4 On a more positive note, Apple has released major components of its Quicktime server under an open source license, the Apple Public Source License [2].
