Dedicated servers with support for RealVideo?

I have a customer who is a famous journalist and he wants us to put daily
videos of his TV journal on a web site we're doing for him. Could you
orient me please? Are there special requirements to stream RealVideo in
terms of server software? Will it work on a standard FreeBSD server? (I've
never done that before).

Thanks,

Justin.

Rvideo is easy
Use the Helix (free) to encode.
It'll save as filename.rm
Create a txt file, name it filename.rpm. In the txt, one line,
rtsp://domain.com/location_of_filename.rm

Embed the Player into your page and call the rpm and it'll play.

Player - Set size to your needs
<EMBED NAME="NAME" SRC="filename.rpm" WIDTH="576" HEIGHT="240"
ALIGN="BOTTOM" CONTROLS="ImageWindow" CONSOLE="one" NOJAVA="true"
AUTOSTART="true"></embed>

Controls
<EMBED NAME="NAME" SRC="filename.rpm" WIDTH="576" HEIGHT="50" ALIGN="BOTTOM"
CONTROLS="All" CONSOLE="one" NOJAVA="true" AUTOSTART="true"></embed>

That's how I do it and it works fine

Thank you. What software do you use to encode into .rm? Do you use the
RealProducer package?

Just observing from the side, but is it only Real that supports such
streaming? I notice that yourself and Sam both suggest it.

Quicktime and WinMedia too.
But you need the streaming software.
Real encodes to the smallest file, while holding quality, and you can, due
to the player buffering, simulate streaming protocol without using the
RealServer.



And, you can install the Player with no bombarding ads now.

Real have their own servers. We use them for a band we're working with.
www.rbn.com is a cluster of RealMedia servers that can handle multiple
streams of .rm and .wmv. It's not too expensive, but it is a pro service.
