Instructions for Viewing RealVideo®

In order to view and listen to the RealVideo® recordings on this site, you need to have a computer with a sound board and either speakers or headphones. You also need the RealPlayer G2™  program installed on your computer so that your browser may use it to decode and play the video files. You may get this player (it's free) by visiting the the RealNetworks website and choosing the correct type of player for your system.

NOTE: This is the same player that plays RealAudio files. If you have that player installed, you have everything you need.

The RealVideo format combines video and sound and the resulting files are highly compressed in order to be modem-friendly, so the picture is small and the quality is not as good as we would like. As the Internet bandwidth available to most users continues to increase in the coming months and years, the quality of future confererence video files will also improve (and perhaps even be available live!).

As a first step we recommend the BBC's help pages related to RealPlayer, located at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/audiohelp.shtml . If your problem persists please write to Dwight Ernest, dwight@uua.org , with your connection speed and whether you're having trouble with UUA video files, or with all RealMedia files even from other sites.
