Author commercial implementations of h.264 standard

Hi there,
Like the subject says, I'm interested in commercial applications
of the h.264 standard. So far, it seems like the only media player
that uses this codec is Apple's Quicktime. Are there any others?
Basically I'm interested in a media player that can read highly
compressed data. If someone knows of a webcam that could generate
video files that obey this standard that would be great as well.

Thanks,
S

If you have the right codec installed on your system, you will be able to
read your compressed data on any media player ! I think you are looking for
codecs that implement the h264 standard, not media players... by the way,
afaik, Apple's mpeg4 codec does not support h264 (mpeg4 part 10) atm. There
aren't a lot of implementations of h264 : VSS, Moonlight, and Ahead/Ateme
soon, and that's about all I can think of atm...

Well, I don't know any, maybe it's a little too early for h264 on webcams...
