Darwin seems a great OS solution for Real Time Streaming. But, I'd just like to point out that theres a big difference between realtime streaming and the video starting before its finished downloading (something that quicktime supports without a real time streaming server).
For instance see: https://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/114589 as an example of Quicktime movies in DSpace, if your using QTP, they start immediately without any special services on the server side. Again, note, this is "not streaming". Isn't this what your really after? -Mark On Feb 21, 2007, at 8:55 PM, j.g. pawletko wrote: > Hello Mark, > > We use DSpace as a core element in our preservation repository design, > but we have eliminated the DSpace UI when disseminating content. > > When a user clicks on a handle, the handle resolves to a project- > specific > script that then runs a special SRU query against DSpace.
