Real Audio/Video Sample Page


Real Audio/Video Instructions:

1. Copy your encoded RealAudio and RealVideo files (files with the .rm and .ra extensions) to your Real Media directory via FTP. Be sure to FTP any mediafiles in BINARY mode (not ASCII mode):

FTP HOST: ftp.asl-associates.com
LOGIN: aslreal
PASSWORD: *******


2. Use a text editor to create a metafile containing a RealAudio or RealVideo URL. The contents of your file should be in the following form for RealAudio files:

pnm://sharplink.com/aslreal/mediafile.ra

or, for RealVideo files:

pnm://sharplink.com/aslreal/mediafile.rm

where "mediafile.ra" or "mediafile.rm" is the RealAudio or RealVideo file you uploaded to your Real Media directory in the previous step.

3. Next, save the above metafile as a text file with the .ram extension. For example:

realmediasample.ram

FTP the metafile to the server in your web directory (in ASCII mode since it is a text file).

4. Finally, reference the metafile as a hyperlink in your HTML document. For example:

realmediasample.ram
