Some companies provide H.264 encoding implementations yet, and I think the
list will grow fast in the next future :

I've seen some examples recently from Optibase's board and the results were
good. I've also tested Vitec's VM4-2 ( which only produces MP4 files, and
not streams ), and the results were also very good to me. I'd like to test
Darim's MPEGator 4 now ...
