This may seem a real newbie question .... but what are .rm files and how can I view them ????



Ta

.rm = .ram = RealPlayer = Fairly low bitrate but not so great quality streaming ideo.

www.real.com

For some cool stuff to watch with the free player, go to www.sputnik7.com (can also use WMP)

Many thx seeker yr a is there anything you dont know ?

Yes. But I try to stay quiet when I don't have a solution or questions I think may lead to one.

Is there a way to store the videos on disk?

I doubt it, but it may be possible... I haven't ever tried personally... why would I waste the HDD space if I can view them there for free any time I want? Membership costs nothing, and they don't spam you.

for better quality? I have only DSL + CDROMs are cheap.

They stream, and they use SureStream. The broadband stream speed is ~200 kbps you won't get better quality by trying to 'rip them off' downloading it to your hard drive instead. If you want higher quality, buy the DVD.

I can't watch the high quality stream with my DSL, it colapses too often. Buying the DVD, aha, no equivalent solution but a opportunity. Thanx.

btw Moak, what are you smoking?
