Author Dedicated servers with support for RealVideo?

I have a customer who is a famous journalist and he wants us to put daily
videos of his TV journal on a web site we're doing for him. Could you
orient me please? Are there special requirements to stream RealVideo in
terms of server software? Will it work on a standard FreeBSD server? (I've
never done that before).

Thanks,

Justin.

Rvideo is easy ;)
Use the Helix (free) to encode.
It'll save as filename.rm
Create a txt file, name it filename.rpm. In the txt, one line,
rtsp://domain.com/location_of_filename.rm

Embed the Player into your page and call the rpm and it'll play.

Player - Set size to your needs ;)
<EMBED NAME="NAME" SRC="filename.rpm" WIDTH="576" HEIGHT="240"
ALIGN="BOTTOM" CONTROLS="ImageWindow" CONSOLE="one" NOJAVA="true"
AUTOSTART="true"></embed>

Controls
<EMBED NAME="NAME" SRC="filename.rpm" WIDTH="576" HEIGHT="50" ALIGN="BOTTOM"
CONTROLS="All" CONSOLE="one" NOJAVA="true" AUTOSTART="true"></embed>

That's how I do it and it works fine ;)

Real have their own servers. We use them for a band we're working with.
www.rbn.com is a cluster of RealMedia servers that can handle multiple
streams of .rm and .wmv. It's not too expensive, but it is a pro service.

Oh and you REALLY want to avoid RealMedia streams anyway. They are
TERRIBLE quality, even at their best. Use Quicktime and Windows Media.
The latter is usable by almost everyone as it is built into Windows.
RealMedia and Quicktime both require big (15mb+) player downloads first.
