     would say it depends very much on how much you've to spend.

    Real is probably one of the best I have used, however, it comes with the
    huge downside of license costs.
    The older real server, now replaced by Helix Universal server streams
    about any format (real, wm, flash (upto 4), and quicktime), and works
    very well (hell of a lot nicer/better than WM in my experience).
    Downside is license costs are quite high, so if it's company/corporate
    venture, I'd suggest Real most defintely.

    Regards,

    Sean
