And that was a network 2000 project by the students.
What was the format of the video that they had to work with?

Everyone was happy.
They had like amazing ATM network at 155 megabits per second.
They had probably one of the best network in Europe at that time.
And they stopped the project.

Maybe other people care about video streamed on a local network.
And they create the VideoLan project, VideoLan.
And one of them is called Christophe Mathieu, that is a good friend of both Kieran and me.
