	MediaCoder Audio Video Glossary
		When RealAudio was introduced, RealNetworks disclosed no technical details about the audio format or how it was encoded, but it was soon noticed that some of the audio codecs used in RealAudio were identical to those used in cellular telephones and digital television.
		RealAudio was developed as a streaming media format, meaning that it can be played while it is downloaded.
		In this case, the RealAudio file is retrieved similarly to a normal web page, but playback begins as soon as the first part is received and continues while the rest of the file is downloaded.

	Codecs > RealAudio 10
		RealAudio is 10 a complete audio solution that can satisfy the demands of the most discriminating audiophile to the most "bandwidth challenged".
		RealAudio 10 accomplishes this by dividing original data from the audio spectrum into distinct frequency bands, some of which are perceptible by the human ear, many of which are not.
		RealAudio 10 is backwards compatible with all RealAudio 8 decoders, enabling the widest possible reach across to millions of users and the last three generations of the RealPlayer.

	What is RealAudio?
		RealAudio lets you start playing a sound as it is being transmitted; there is no need to download the entire file before listening to it.
		RealAudio sound files are up to 10 times smaller than typical sound files.
		It is possible to encode a RealAudio file so that it requires the listener to have only a 14.4 modem connection, or to encode it so that it requires a 28.8 connection.

	HTML TUTOR - RealAudio
		RealAudio files typically have a.ram suffix, so you may have noticed these files on your computer at one time or another, but they are different from normal sound files.
		For the most part,.ram files have to be played with a RealAudio plug-in and they have to be created by an application by Real called RealProducer.
		RealAudio files can be linked to and embedded in the same way other sound files on your page can be.

	WDVL: RealAudio
		RealAudio is an important part of Real's lineup and has been integrated into SMIL.
		RealAudio and Video can now be encoded so that they can be streamed from a normal web server without the need of a Real Server.
		While RealAudio is the best sound format for SMIL you should know that SMIL for the Real G2 Player also supports several other formats.

	Real Audio
		RealAudio content may be created either from previously recorded digital audio files or from an external audio source.
		Because the RealAudio compression algorithms are lousy, some of the information contained in your original audio input will not be included in the reconstructed signal sent to the RealAudio Player.
		RealAudio Encoder is distributed with two editing tools utilities, Racut and Rapaste, which enable simple editing of RealAudio files.

		RealAudio is a technology that allows Internet or Intranet broadcast of various audio forms in "real time." What makes RealAudio different from many other forms of information transfer over such networks is that the audio file can begin to play immediately, rather than after a large down load of data.
		Progressive Networks, the developer of RealAudio, explain their technology as "streaming audio." What this means is that the RealAudio server receives the audio source, modifies it appropriately, and passes it on to the client in real time.
		Some organizations use RealAudio's capabilities to provide audio services to their clients on a very select basis.This technology is also suitable for use within an Intranet system.

	STG's Review of RealAudio
		In our particular case, we used the RealAudio Encoder on a Macintosh 8500 to reduce the digitized audio from Kenneth Foote's one-hour presentation to as little as 3.5 MB (the size of 2.0-format files encoded for 14.4 kbps links).
		We believe that everyone vending RealAudio files over the Internet should do something like this; we think it is a mistake to assume that users either have, or know where to get and how to install, a RealAudio client.
		Finally, we note that the RealAudio server is based on proprietary (or on as yet still unformalized) specifications, and on the assumption that people are using slow, mainly modem-based links.

	No updated Real software on WebTV \| CNET News.com
		In the face of internal marketing research and informal subscriber surveys indicating users want WebTV to begin supporting new versions of RealAudio or some format of streaming audio and video, company executives argue that their options are limited by the low price point of the WebTV box when choosing what Web technologies to support.
		RealAudio is a format that allows Web developers to include streaming audio, and in later versions, streaming video, on their sites.
		On sites using "anything after RealAudio 3.0, you would get a dialog box telling you to upgrade," but because WebTV does not support later versions of RealAudio, subscribers are effectively locked out, Hulett said.

	So You Want Real Audio, Huh?
		I have stayed away from RealAudio mainly because, in the past, RealAudio couldn't be done straight off of a WWW server.
		Where RealAudio beat them all was that it played the sounds almost instantaneously.
		Once the connection is established, the transfer of data is consistent and at a set pace, usually the pace of your modem.

		If your RealAudio files are encoded to a single rate, and that rate is less than or equal to the data rate that a viewer's Internet connection can handle, the audio or video will actually stream automatically, without the necessity for you to buy, license, download, or configure a RealAudio/RealMedia server.
		It means you can simply "drop in" RealAudio files easily, without having to worry about a separate server, and without your visitors having to wait until the entire file downloads before they can hear or see your content.
		Be warned, however, that not using a direct RealMedia server means that a clever visitor will be able to bootleg your file by grabbing the content file out of their browser cache, or in numerous other ways.

		RealAudio formats are optimized for low- to medium-speed connections including 14.4 and 28.8 Kbps modems and ISDN.
		A RealAudio clip is a file or live broadcast containing sound encoded in one of the RealAudio formats.
		RealAudio Player does not require a Web browser to function; users can enter the URL of a.ra or.ram file directly into RealAudio Player, or use the Preset or Scan buttons on RealAudio Player Plus.

	WebHints: RealAudio
		In the end, payment for the RealAudio system is made by ISPs who in turn indirectly collect the money from their clients through web server annual fees.
		The RealAudio Encoder only accepts certain sound formats as inputs so you'll have to ensure that your sound is in one of those formats before you can do the encoding.
		Sometimes it can seem a bit annoying to the user to have a RealAudio window pop up, and so the RealAudio people have enabled RealAudio controls to be embedded within a page.

	Get the Most from RealAudio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		OPTIMIZE RealAudio uses a lossy compression scheme, which means the codec discards parts of the audio file during the encoding process to shrink the file size.
		Because RealAudio encoding reduces the dynamic range of your audio, adding a bit of compression beforehand will give you some control over the final signal levels rather than leaving them to chance.
		RealAudio is a great way to showcase your music on the Web, provide a taste of what's on your new CD, or even enhance your site with informative sound clips, such as radio interviews.

	RealAudio, Version 10
		RealAudio, including versions earlier than 10, is used as a streaming format for most sound recordings presented in American Memory, with a target data rate oriented to users with dial-up modems.
		Licensing for RealAudio and RealVideo, and for related production and delivery tools, is described at https://helixcommunity.org/content/licenses, an entity of RealNetworks, Inc. Licensing includes open source and research and development arrangements that provide access to the source code for the codecs.
		Moderate to excellent, depending upon the codec selected; for mono and stereo recordings, the lossless codec offers the highest fidelity while the AAC codec will provide the best result for compressed sound.

	Attaching RealAudio 5.0 and Earlier Files to Web Pages
		Since RealAudio files are resident to the realAudio Server and can only be retrieved by the RealAudio Player, a few extra steps must be taken to complete the network path that links to the audio file.
		When the user clicks on the RealAudio link, it is actually activating a metafile, which in turn sends the location of the RealAudio file to the Player.
		For RealAudio files, the Web page is like a sheet of paper that gives you directions to a house, and once you arrive at the house, there is another piece of paper attached to the door with a set of directions to another house, which is your actual destination.

	Leslie Spit Treeo: Streaming RealAudio
		RealAudio's solution from the beginning has been a.ram file, as I described it above.
		RealAudio's servers use a special protocol to send the.ra file.
		I think it was only in RA 3.0 that they enabled it to download from a standard web server, although it already supported HTTP (in the options) in earlier versions.
