I want to use real video on my website but I am not sure if I need to buy real producer or not. I am a student so I can't afford to shell out a coupla grand for anything. I am basically trying to stream video from my website. I have created Quicktimes before but I want to add Real Video as an option as well. Does anyone have any experience with real video or real producer for the web? Is there a better program to use besides Real Producer?
Thanks in advance!
