Developed by Apple, it is the open source equivalent of QuickTime Streaming Server, and is based on its code. The initial DSS source code release compiled only on Mac OS X, but external developers quickly ported the code to Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Tru64 Unix, Mac OS 9 and Windows. Source code is available as a release download or as development code via CVS. Akamai uses DSS, exclusively, for streaming QuickTime and MPEG-4 content. The mobile version of the video sharing site YouTube uses DSS to stream its mobile videos in 3GP format using the H.263/AMR codec. |
