The Book place

Instead of using the http:// locator seen with most URLs, RealMedia files address the
RealServer with an rtsp:// (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) indicator. The contents of the file should take
the following form:
rtsp://hostname/path/file
where hostname is the domain name of the server on which the RealMedia files are stored, path is the
path to the file, and file is the name of the RealMedia file. For example, to display a training video, the
metafile contents might look like the following:
rtsp://www.trainers.com/videos/training01.rm
You can include multiple video clips by putting each one on its own line, separated by a single return.
RealMedia plays each clip in succession, and the user can skip from one clip to another.
Inserting RealMedia in your Web page
After you??™ve created both the encoded RealMedia file and the metafiles, you??™re ready to insert them into your
Web page. You have two basic techniques for including RealMedia: as a link or by using the tag.

Using a link
Generally, if you want to invoke the free-floating RealPlayer, you use a link; the href attribute is set to an
address for a metafile, as follows:
Demonstration
When the link is selected, it calls the metafile that, in turn, calls the video file on the RealServer.
