Hi ,
I spotted this in the mbone mailing list and I figured some of you may
be interested.
Enjoy,

> Rendez-Vous is an Internet videoconferencing tool developed at INRIA

> first MBone tools available (however it is a completely new piece of
> code compared to IVS).
> The audio component of Rendez-Vous is an integration of the
> application kernel of the FreePhone 3.5 audio tool developped also at
> INRIA by Sacha Fosse-Parisis and Andres Vega Garcia (http://
> www.inria.fr/rodeo/fphone).
> Main features of Rendez-Vous :
> - RTP protocol support over multicast or unicast IP. - H261 video
> standard. - High quality PCMU, ADPCM, VADPCM (with HiFi support) and
> low bandwidth GSM and LPC audio coding. - Mpeg 1/2 file reading /
> transcoding - An integrated scheduler for multilayer video and audio
> flow management and processing (layer synchronisation and
> optimization of machine ressources to maximise the suggestive quality
> rendered to the user). - Experimental multilayer DCT based video
> codec. - Application level hierarchical FEC. - Bit error resilience
> with layered DCT codec.
> Who should care for Rendez-Vous ?
> Who should NOT care for Rendez-Vous : Rendez-Vous is not intended to
> be commercial product. We, the RODEO team at INRIA are a small
> research group, part of a French public institute. In no case we
> recommend Rendez-Vous for a buisness or even personnal use. We will
> not provide any support for such use of Rendez-Vous.
> Who should care for Rendez-Vous : Rendez-Vous is an experimental
> research tool. It has been developped in order to be an ideal testbed
> for some hot topics such as layered video and audio transport and
> coding, Forward Error Correction for video and audio on the Internet,
> wireless and satellite links access to the Internet. As a side effect
> of this primary goal, Rendez-Vous can also be used for personnal use
> by people with an adventurous mind.
> Supported systems :
> - Sun Sparc Solaris machines, internal audio hardware, SunVideo and
> VigraPix grabbers - x86 Linux machines, VoxWare audio by Sacha
> Fosse-Parisis, no video grabbing - x86 FreeBSD machines, VoxWare audio
> by Sacha Fosse-Parisis, no video grabbing - Windows 95 machines,
> DirectX 5.0 audio, VideoForWindows (QuickCam only) and Matrox Meteor
> grabbing. Windows NT 4 users have to wait for offical support for
> DirectX 5.0 in NT 4.
