Help with Audio and Video
Audio and video presentations on The Bancroft Library's website are
offered in RealMedia format. Real Media allows playback of multimedia as
it arrives at the user's computer, eliminating the need to download the
multimedia file completely before viewing. Real Media format is especially
useful for computers with slower Internet connections, such as a 28.8
modem. However, users with slower Internet connections may find that audio
and video playback is slower and the quality of the images or sound is
reduced. Playback speed may also be affected by Internet traffic.
Real frequently
upgrades its players for improved performance. If you have trouble playing an audio or video
recording presented in RealMedia, please try downloading the most recent
version of the Real player.
