I was pretty excited when I heard that the
company that makes RealAudio had released a new
product called RealVideo. And the excitement hasn't died.
If you have tried real-time streaming audio and/or video on the
internet before, then you know
that the quality varies wildly. The best you can do is a 70-80%
clear picture and 80-90% clear
audio. The RealVideo and RealAudio combination is as good as
video and sound on the internet
can get.
There aren't a whole lot of web sites that offer RealVideo (about
60 or so), but I think that
number is going to grow. And if youre a news junkie, then
youll love that fact that you can
watch C-SPAN and FOX News Network in real time on your computer.
