icecast handles ogg theora, but the passthrough handler (often used for mp3 and aac) will send through nsv.

mp3 is audio only (not video), rm/rv are realmedia containers/codecs which don't have an specs and avi is a containter not a video format. However if the question is, does icecast stream mp3 then yes.
FYI Ogg is a container and theora is a video codec, nsv is a container which typically has VP3/6 as the video codec.

thanks for the clarification.
so IceCast supports video as well as audio. But as I saw some threads in this forum saying that IceCast's support for video streaming is not as good as Helix Server or Darwin streaming. Is this correct??
thanks again |

I can't comment on those products as I don't know them well enough. Those products may have support for other formats, however icecast is licensed under the GPL so we may not be allowed to use some of these formats.
