What Is The MBone VCR?

This is what you'll find about the MBone VCR in one of the Tenet Blurbs: An MBone VCR tool.
Wieland Holfelder. designed and developed a VCR application for use on the Internet's Multicast Backbone (MBone). This application uses a VCR interface to control recording and playback of sessions sent over the MBone. VCR stores these session by synchronizing different media streams based on information provided by RTP (the Real Time Transport Protocol). It also allows indexing and random access within recorded sessions. A command language enables limited programming features e.g. to schedule recordings or playbacks at a later point of time. The VCR tool is currently alpha tested and is available via anonymous ftp (see below).
