[videolan-announce] [ANN] Multicat 1.0

[Christophe Massiot]

Dear VideoLAN users,

We are very glad to announce the first public release of Multicat. It 
is a set of tools designed to easily and efficiently manipulate 
multicast streams in general, and MPEG-2 Transport Streams in 
particular:

  - multicat is a multicast equivalent of netcat; a gateway 
application between files and multicast streams
  - ingests parses a transport stream to generate a timestamp file 
suitable for multicat streaming; the combination of ingests and 
multicat makes a simple and efficient TS file streamer
  - offsets allows to cut a media file at a precise time boundary
  - aggregartp and desaggregartp can split a single multicast stream 
onto several contribution links

For more information please proceed to the project page:
