video lan client
Authored by: reidspice on Jul 03, '02 01:19:58PM

this application is incredible. i've been able to do things with it that quicktime (and the horrid windows media) couldn't possibly do. very stable, great fullscreen, stop and start with the space bar, streams off the network flawlessly, just can't say enough about it.

now if we could only get the freakin real player for osx we'd have a true multimedia-capable os.. come on, real. get off yer lazy butts.

It has more to do with available resources than laziness. You will see a OS X RealPlayer fairly soon, but it will not be on par with the monopoly version at first.

There are some happenings which should make you happy in the not too distant future.

Well, I'm not too experienced with it, but perhaps you should look into using ffmpeg to convert your real files into something you can use. I haven't worked with it too much, but it does a fine job of converting RealAudio files into mp3s. Here is a thread that I posted over at Mac.Ach. at ArsTechnica. My last post in the thread gives some details.


Like I said, I haven't worked with it too much, so I don't know what it does for video or streams, but it might be worth looking into while you wait for Real to get with the program...


Cheers. :)
