[M4IF Discuss] Anystream Agility and MPEG-4

[Benjamin Higginbotham]

May not be the answer you want, but Telestream FlipFactory may be what 
you're looking for.  It's basically the same thing as AnyStream except 
that the licensing is much more realistic, it supports almost any 
format in any format out including broadcast servers, and they even 
have hardware that allows for video input and transcoding.  The 
solution is very cool, we have several clients who have moved from 
AnyStream to FlipFactory.
You can find info on Telestream products at http://www.telestream.net
MPEG 4 is already in FlipFactory
Anyhow, just my $0.02
