The MPEG4IP project provides an MPEG and IETF standards-based system for encoding, streaming, and playing audio and video.   Hi,   I've released version 1.6 of mpeg4ip.  This will be my last release of mpeg4ip; I am changing jobs and can no longer contribute to this project.  I will be able to answer questions about it in the forums and email list, but will not be able to actively make changes or maintain it.  The plans for what will happen to this project are not yet decided.  Working on this project has been a lot of fun for me, and I have a lot of great memories interacting with the forum regulars.   It is hard to believe that there have been almost 400K downloads of this project.  Thanks,  Bill May

As you may recall from my last entry, I exchanged my cable box from a Scientific Atlanta 8000HD to a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD.  The latter, new box continues to output a signal from the cable connection even if I have it in HDTV mode.  It probably also continues to output AVI and S-Video.  This finally opened up a way for me to use my cable box with a MythTV box.   Thanks to a serious (and mysterious) spinal injury (I say mysterious because I haven't figured out how I did the damage), I can only work on the project for a half hour at a time, at most.  I have discovered some interesting things in those short segments.
