DIVX Links

Open the AVI HTTP links with VLC: you can play the video quasi-instantaneously but not seek into it.

On Windows

Realplayer configuration

After launching RealOne in Windows, go to "Tools/Preferences," then click on "Hardware" in the left-hand Category section, and then move the "Video Card Compatibility" slider all the way over to the "Most reliable" side. If you don't do this RealOne may frequently crash!

PodCasting

Use the RSS feed link into your PodCast reader (eg iTune).

Firewall

If you cannot read the videos, it can be a problem with your firewall. You may test other streaming links and if the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
