Video streaming for the Real Media Player

Using RealPlayer to Stream Audio and Video

RealPlayer SP by RealNetworks has been around since 1995 when it started as a basic media player called RealAudio Player, and then as an embedded app for streaming audio and video as sites started to offer that functionality. RealPlayer, as a closed source cross-platform media player that plays a number of multimedia formats including MP3, MPEG-4, QuickTime, Windows Media, and multiple versions of proprietary RealAudio and RealVideo formats, enables consumers to buy and/or download music and video that plays on more than 100 portable devices, including the Apple iPod. You can download and organize favorite videos from thousands of websites. Trim videos to share selected highlights on social network sites Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter, and other hubs for media sharing. The built in video converter makes it easy to copy online video to an iPod, cell phone, Xbox, PS3 or other media device. Keep all digital-media clips organized in one place; save CD tracks with one click; pause and rewind live streams; transfer music to CDs and portable devices easily; experience smooth video playback and multichannel, surround-sound support. Moreover, transfer selected videos from thousands of Web sites to an iTunes library.
