Frequently Asked Questions
Q - Does Real
Player cost anything to download?
A - Real Player is free.
Q - What do I need, to view the programs?
A - In order to view the programs the free RealPlayer software
must be installed on your computer and you must have access
through any corporate firewalls that may be in place between
you and the Internet. The free RealPlayer software can be
downloaded from the Internet by visiting the RealNetworks
site here
and older versions can be obtained on their
legacy player page. Please look for the "Free Basic Player," not Real's premium player. The basic player is all that's required. Real makes their money by selling the premium player, so it may take some careful scrutiny to find the basic player link.
Q - Why Real Player
and not Windows Media player or the Quicktime player?
A - Real Player is a reliable application which offers a version
for most of the popular operating systems. Real specializes
in streaming and therefore offers some important multimedia
technologies that are not supported as well in Windows Media
Player. Real also prevents fewer security issues to the originating institutions as it does not require the exposing IP adresses that lie behind the firewall.
Q - Can I change the
size of the player screen?
A - The video for this program is actually "embedded"
in an html page which does not allow the video to be "stretched
out." The player is designed to fit in a screen display
set to 800 by 600 pixels or larger. If you would like the
player to take up as much space on the screen as possible,
set your screen display to 800 by 600. This will not increase
the actual resolution of the picture, but it will seem "larger"
on the screen.
Q - Where can I get
additional information on technical problems?
A - Troubleshooting information and technical assistance can
be accessed through RealPlayer's support pages here.
