It works fine.  If you're having problems, it might be because the 
version (profile) of MPEG-4 video that you're using doesn't match 
that which QuickTime Player understands.

You could also try using VLC as a client.

See <http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public/m4e/> for some examples 
of MPEG-4 Elementary Stream Video (".m4e") files that can be streamed 
- by "live555MediaServer" - to either VLC or QuickTime Player.
