November 5, 2002, on Producing Streaming Video (and Audio) for the Web:
I am a real beginner with this stuff and there ain't no way for me to know the difference between a SCSI/ROM BIOS or a WTF-are-you-talking-about add on interface for my Plentium4 MMX DooHickey, BUT, I have played around with streaming video for the web and I actually got it to work. Real no longer offers the free Real Producer Basic. It has been replaced with the new Helix Producer Basic. I tried that and and it was NFG. I got next to nowhere with it. Nearly every button I clicked replied with a little popup that said: "To access this feature you must upgrade to the full version". Luckily I have a copy of Real Producer Basic on my old desktop PC. I am using MGI's VideoWave4 for editing(approx.a c-note, probably even less now that 5.0 is released), and the book I ran out and bought, Sams How To Use Digital Video(ISBN 0-672-31923-3)filled me in on the how. Save the video as a .AVI file, and run it through RPB. In my latest project I did it twice, once for 56K dial-up and again for 225K...
