The VideoLAN team is happy to announce the final version of VLC 0.8.4.
(Note: 0.8.3 was skipped because its technical improvements were too
little)

Apple and much of the streaming industry is, I think, moving in the
direction of
H.264 for video streaming.
However, there is a noticable lack of players other than Quicktime.
Here is what
I have found in some testing with Mac OS 10.4
Real - will not play DSS streamed H.264 video - says that the
needed video/H264 plug-in is missing
- will play the audio, though
VLC - will play H.264 files from QT just fine, but will not play
the streams without extra software
from Live.com (which is a killer as far as anything mass market is
involved).
So, I have yet to find an alternative to QT for the Mac, and I
have found no H.264 streaming
support on Linux.
Does anyone else know about H.264 streaming support for Linux ?
Something that would work
out of the box ?
