RealMedia

In brief, to link to a RealMedia movie, create a link to a RealMedia metafile (.ram) as shown in this example:

    <a href="movie.ram">Link to the streaming movie</a>

The metafile is a small text-only file that contains only the URL for the RealMedia file (suffix .rm). When the user clicks the link, the browser accesses the metafile, which launches the player and passes it the URL of the actual media file:

    pnm://domainname.com/movie.rm
