Yesterday, the QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5 update showed up in the automatic Software Update window of our Cube running Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 with QuickTime 7.0 installed. It is available as a standalone update from this Apple Web page. QuickTime Broadcaster is needed for an MPEG4 webcast with QuickTime. Apple says:
