What About Quicktime?
MPEGs...how 1995!
For a more broadly useful video format, Apple will have to port QuickTime to Linux. For a company that used to officially support MkLinux, you'd think they'd get off of their collective ass and at least release binaries. Hell, you can even stream Quicktime from Linux, but you can't watch it.
There used to be, as of a few months ago, a petition up at neutron.resnet.gatech.edu/qt-petit ion.html, but that appears to have gone away. (As has the server.) Maybe the guy graduated and took his server with him.
I'm told that xanim plays Quicktime, but I've never tried it. Still, I'd like to have a plug-in, and something that supports that full functionality of Quicktime. I wish Apple would do something about it.

But are they standards-based?
I'd guess not. There are standards-based (RTSP and RTP/RTCP) servers available (PRISS, Darwin, and ELSA, for example - see streamingserver.org for more info), and clients in the works for Linux (I hope Sun is working on a RTSP layer for JMF; likewise, I hope Apple is porting Quicktime Client too). I'd bet that in a year's time, streaming multimedia will be the norm for all platforms, and companies like pixelon will stand out from the background noise only if they have something more than a window-only, single-media-source solution.

Why not use Open Source streaming?
Check out PRISS at streamingserver.org
1000 streams at once make it harder to /. it, and no per-stream fees.
