Create your RealAudio and RealVideo clips with RealProducer (a free product) or RealProducer Plus. These tools have easy-to-use, wizard-driven interfaces that let you quickly produce a streaming clip from a standard audio or video input format, such as WAV, AVI, or QuickTime. They encode files as RealAudio or RealVideo, both of which use the .rm file extension.

When you run the wizards to encode a file, be sure to choose a single-rate clip for Web server hosting. As described in "Limitations on Web Server Playback", Web servers cannot host SureStream clips encoded for multiple playback rates. Also note that single-rate clips support only RealPlayer G2 or higher. Earlier versions of RealPlayer, such as RealPlayer 5.0, cannot play these clips.
