Hi,
I need to correct something I said earlier: DSS serves native MPEG4
(not DivX) files in addition to QuickTime movies. The files must be
"hinted" MPEG4.
Also, the QuickTime Player is not the only player that is compatible
with our server. There are third party media players that support
streaming from DSS, using MPEG4 or other open codecs. However, Real and
WM players aren't 100% compatible with DSS for movie streaming.
