Enjoy, Amancio Frank.Lyonnet@sophia.inria.fr said: > A quick word to announce the availability of Rendez-Vous 1.0.3 an > Internet audio/video conferencing software developped in INRIA France. > This release of Rendez-Vous should be of interest for people willing > to experiment with multilayer video codec, application level FEC and > bit error resilience. > Extracted from the Rendez-Vous web page (http://www.inria.fr/rodeo/rv) > : --------------------------------------------------------------------- > --- > Rendez-Vous is an Internet videoconferencing tool developed at INRIA > by Frank Lyonnet.
