[needs-packaging] MPEG4IP - Streaming over IP, multiCast - multi-OS platforms

[Tree MendUs]

URL: http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net/index.php

Description:
MPEG4IP provides an end-to-end system to explore streaming multimedia. The package includes many existing open source packages and the "glue" to integrate them together. This is a tool for streaming video and audio that is standards-oriented and free from proprietary protocols and extensions.

Provided are a live MPEG-4/H.261/MPEG-2/H.263 MP3/AAC/AMR broadcaster and file recorder, command line utilities such as an MP4 file creator and hinter, and an player that can both stream and playback from local file.

Our development is focused on the Linux platform, and has been ported to Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, BSD/OS and Mac OS X, but it should be relatively straight-forward to use on other platforms.
Many of the included packages are multi-platform already.
Mp4live only works on Linux.

This code is not intended for end users,
and does not contain executables.
Please read all the legal information to determine if it is suitable for you.

License:
What are the licensing terms associated with this project?
A: Like most modern codecs, MPEG-4 Video and Audio codecs are almost certainly subject to patent royalities. This project does not remove any responsiblity or liability from developers or users of this kit. Similarly, there are a variety of third party packages included in this kit. Each has it's own license. These licenses, and more legal information, can be found in the Documentation. The original code created by the project developers is distributed under the Mozilla Public License.

Notes:
This looks good for experimental, and beta use.
But some may want to use it for their video kit anyway.
If not adding it now, please keep an eye out for it in future.

Since the program set has several components, it might be handy to release the individual components as they become suitable.
The ability to stream good resolution video over ordinary IP is attractive.

mpeg4ip is already packaged since hardy (in the multiverse component). See http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mpeg4ip

These are all i386 versions.

I have Feisty on AMD64, and it doesn't show up in synaptic.
AMD64 is a good multimedia platform.

Is there and AMD64 version of this package?

Is it possible to make it available for earlier Ubuntu versions somehow?

[Tree MendUs (tree-mendus-deactivatedaccount)]

Not packaged, so too early to request a backport.

[Tree MendUs (tree-mendus-deactivatedaccount)]

Packaged in Hardy and Intrepid so valid backport request.
