ReaL Media Format

Strengths

  1. Real Media has the highest installation base of all media players.

  2. The DoIT Streaming Server supports Real Media formats.

Weaknesses

  1. Real Media player has less than desirable support for backward compatibility. Users may be required to upgrade their player to view content.

  2. It is difficult for users to find the free Real Media Player on the Real Web site. Users often find themselves being asked to purchase a player or asked to enter a credit card number to subscribe to an online service. There are ways around this, but it is difficult. We suggest creating a direct link to the free download player.
