# Hey there Mistera
I been told to ask you this question, 'cause apparently its in your department:

How do I stream a 'less than 5MB' RealVideo from yer average webspace? Like when you go to view a video on the net and it lets you watch it, but you can't download it.

# you need the real producer,
theres a cracked one on kazaa, or you can use the free version. Set it to give you maybe a 56k , 28k, and a 256k buit rate, and then stick it ojn yer site. rm files stream better when hosted on a helix universal server, but quite often theres absolutely no difference, they just want you to think there is.

# No
I know how to make the RealVideo file, in fact I've already go it. But how do I get it to stream?

# sorry was orf for a sec there,
all you do is put it on your site, the packet streaming protocol is an attribute of browsers.

# So
can I open my video file in RealProducer and change it to what you're talking about? I don't know what this packet streaming malarkey is, but I'll have a look at the RealProducer and see what gives. Someone mentioned something about uploading a text file renamed from .txt to .ram that just has the url of the RealVideo file and then that acts as a redirect. Would that work or it that just voodoo?

# no,`
theres no point doing that with the text file (although yea, it works) just stick it on yer site or wherever as a link and it'll boot in the real player. Once its a rm file, you cant change it tho, so for instance, you wont be able to set multiple bit rates unless its already encoded that way. is it anywhere online at the moment?
