As for the container, MPEG transport stream is pretty much standard
for streaming.  You also need to choose a delivery protocol, such as
RTSP.

Sure is.  Beats WMV9 hands down IMO.

It's already supported.

What good is MPEG4 v10/AVC/H.264 if you need a =
different streaming
 player (or commercial plugin) and even platform =
(server) for each
 different streaming implementation by Real/Envivio, =
Apple,
 Optibase, VBrick etc?

WM9 seems to be going strong at the moment. Even =
Blu-ray
 (<A HREF=3D"http://www.blu-ray.com/" =
TARGET=3D"_blank">http://www.blu-ray.com/</A>) has adopted WMV9. The =
WM9 player also
 supports protocol rollover (multi to unicast, udp, =
tcp) hereby
 also fixing the NAT issue a lot of other clients =
still have
 (including set top boxes).
