How can I insert a Real Player (.rm) video to be viewed
on a web page? I can't get it to work at all.

Thanks.

Do you want streamingplay back or user-click-then-download-and-playback.

For streaming media, you have to do this.

1) Open Notepad
2) Type in the full URL of the *rm file
3) Save the file as the same name but with a RAM file extension eg your original
file is video.rm then name the text file video.ram
4) Upload the rm and ram file. Create a hyperlink in your html page and link to
the RAM file.
5) when a user clicks the link the vidoe or audio will playback "streaming" (that
is playing/downloading simultaneiously) Be aware, a broadband or dsl connection
recommended.


To have users downl;oad the file first, just link directly to the *.rm file. with
a normal hyperlink.
It will fully download the file, then when the user double-clicks, the file will
open in Real Player and start playing.
