What do I need to watch video on the Web?

We stream all of our video files with RealVideo. It is a popular and standard file format and the RealPlayer software is available at no cost to you. It may even be on your computer already.

To obtain the latest version of the RealPlayer software and plug-in for your Web browser, visit http://www.real.com. It is NOT necessary to purchase their "Pro" product. To find the free version, look in the upper right hand corner of their homepage, and click on "Free RealOne Player." On the next page, look for the link that reads "Download the Free RealOne Player Only." You will find this mid-way down the page, on the right.
