that's a great point. I was wrong on that, when giving instructions you should always make the default appropriate. Although, I would write "chmod ug+x install.sh".

Uhh...BroadCast2000 is the deprecated version of Cinelerra. Why is this modded informative? The author doesn't know anything about the package, s/he just must have done a Google search.
MPEG4 is a proprietary format with patent and royalty encumbrance that make it in no way superior to Real for freedom. Real offers a good balance between availability on esoteric hardware and operating systems (like Irix) and quality that none of the proprietary codecs you listed offer. Streaming MPEG1 would be ridiculous, come on. And H.261/.263 are not high enough quality. Ideally, I would use a completely open codec if source were available, and then deal with the inconvenience of requiring users to install it, but if I'm choosing between non-ideal solutions, Real is simply the best choice I can see.
I like the fact that I can play back Real media files on Irix and Solaris. It's an important feature for me. Real is definitely the media software with the widest availability/installed base ratio.
Clearly you didn't read my post. I said that I wanted something with an installed base, and the key was streaming media -- not just audio. Icecast is only for audio, and the Apple product I think you're calling QT (really Darwin Streaming Media Server) I had already ruled out due to the a) lack of installed base for QT and b) patent on MPEG4.
I think I'll stay away from WMV, since I'm targetting installation on a Sparc server. I forgot to mention that part, but it explains why Free is crucial.
Is there any Free streaming media server that is robust and supports open codecs? I'd even be willing to make some compromises. Of the proprietary codecs, Real is the best. Is there any free way to stream it? Darwin Streaming Media is no good because it only supports proprietary codecs and the inferior ones (in installed base at least) at that.
Nope, but the vast majority of USian readers do. Maybe in soviet russia they make you ignore the US, but over here in USia, we like to see our own names in print.

That's a load of crap.
Wha? Phone numbers and addresses are currently public record. Try opening up a phone book.
Voila, not viola. A viola is a musical instrument.
less than a cup of tea.
Some people still enjoy using Windows 3.11.

Could it be that the executable permissions aren't set? Ie, did you try chmod 777 install.sh first?
Karma Burning Post.

I guess your theory of sigs is inconsistent.

That was pretty cool. Who wrote that poem?
Any other musical instruments appear? Why is it so difficult for people to use the right words?

Ever notice how some people just post to see their own words in print? The online analog to politicians and other blowhards.
are posting bonehead stories today. What a crappy day.
k bye.
See, he got it right, even if this retard couldn't.
Is it just me, or is that the most annoying malapropism around? Constantly see it though.
You have your Capitalization wrong.
