All things related to multicast

["Richard Mavrogeanes" <>]

Actually, each VBrick encoder supports two destination addresses, so you can 
multicast (perhaps locally) and unicast (perhaps via a network that does not 
support Class D addresses) at the same time.

Most of the codecs out there will do multicast and unicast.  vbrick, amnis, 
ncast, etc.  Error correction is a "nice to have".

If you just want unicast <-> multicast conversion, there are various
tunneling programs that will do that on a PC or workstation.
