WatchMe! project (http://advansib.com/?mid=41) is a software solution designed for multimedia asynchronous streaming on low bandwidth networks. Solution includes two core applications: WatchMe! Server and WatchMe! Client.

In contrast to other similar software solutions WatchMe! project has a number of unique features that include:
Asynchronous multimedia streaming;
Working on low bandwidth networks;
Stable self-recovering connection.

minor nitpick:

Supported multimedia formats

* MPEG2, MPEG4-AVC, H.264

MPEG4-AVC and H.264 are the same thing... maybe it could be changed to "MPEG-4 AVC (H.264)"?

i'll read the rest of the site now :)

sorry, i'm a compulsive nitpicker...

How does this compare to VideoLAN (http://www.videolan.org/)?

VideoLAN for playback only, so that user passively
catch the stream like TV reciever does. You cannot change time position you
started watching the channel. For eg. you cannot start watching the TV
programme from the begining if it has already began.
On the other hand WatchMe! technology allows you to use the server as video recorder.
WatchMe! solution can be compared with VCR (WM Server) with a remote control
unit (WM Player). User can specify a video tape to play that means selecting
a multimedia sample from a predefined library. Or user can easily "rewind" multimedia
stream forward or backward using remote. It is all possible with
WatchMe! solution.
Moreover, files of almost any type can be used as media: mid, wav, mp3, ogg, mpg, avi, avc and etc.

For more specified information ask more specified questions.

Looks very nice.
I always get an error when playing mp3 saying
Error!
It is not video file or there are no appropriate codecs to play media,
which compressed by ...
You may download some codecs http://www.elecard.net.ru/download/

After clicking Ok the file just plays ok.

How do this differ from Darwin Streaming Server/Quicktime combination?
The only advantage i can see is that it can stream virtually anything your pc can play locally.
Is this going to stay for free until final is released?
