Streaming RealMedia

IT-UMS/ITV supports the university RealMedia streaming server. Faculty are welcome to request audio and video content to be placed on the server for student playback through MyCourses.

Required File Format

All media files, both audio and video, must be in RealMedia format for proper playback on the streaming server. If your media is already in this format, you are almost done. If it is not, you may download the free version of RealProducer Basic for Windows from RealNetworks to convert your audio and video files into RealMedia files.

Suggested Settings

The suggested settings below are meant as guidelines only. One size doesn't always fit all.

All files should have the extension of .rm when finished.

Getting the Files Loaded

The easiest method of transporting the files is to create a CD-ROM, or if needed a DVD-ROM, of everything. Send this disc securely via campus mail with a note attached with the following information.

All data will be deleted after 3 years. Discs cannot be returned and will be kept on file.

A Note About Copyright

Faculty wishing to host copyrighted works must first obtain written permission from the copyright holder. IT-UMS will not host any content without prior permission.
