REAL MEDIA PLAYER : Doesn't look too bad. They have a nice suspense buildup, a humiliatedBoggart-Snape, a heroic defender Snape, and a fairly good impersonation ofthe Dumbledore that Richard Harris did when he was alive. The choir addsanother element (creepy and uplifting) and it looks like Malfoy has a brandnew haircut. It also looks like they are adding in some more camera cranework versus the locked down camera of the first 2 movies. So you can play this preview back at your leisure later (and not chew upthe website bandwidth on repeated viewings) I give the direct downloadlinks. This may seem at first a bad thing to the RIAA, but for presold fansit is just more temptation and a cheaper sell to potential fans. As always,FREEDOM proves itself the best thing in the end.

The QUICKTIME one looks the best. The other two have pretty big compression artifacts (REALMEDIA's lookingthe worst and the WINDOWS MEDIA looking only a faint amount better). You will also want to consider downloading the REAL MEDIA PLAYERALTERNATIVE. It plays all of the popular video formats (*.RM, *.WMA, *.MOV), DVDfiles, and even the BINK format popular in many computer video games today. REAL MEDIA PLAYER : Do you know if there have been comparisons of the different streaming mediatypes other than real and windows media? I'm curious as to how mpeg andQuicktime stack up for performance. Real seems to have licensed thequicktime technology as well,(apoligies to those that hate cnet). Still looking for a good technicalcomparison....For the Real Media servers i.e. Real Server G2, a Netra T-1/105 canhandle 400 concurrent streams, the backend storage we are using is aNetwork Appliance box where all the content lives. I personally haven'tdone any local serving of RealMedia content from a Sun so I can't speakto that, but I'm sure it would perform admirably. We also run Linuxboxes for Real Servers as well and they can handle 400 streams withoutbreaking into a sweat as well. Talk to a Real salesperson and they'llsay that a PIII-500 makes for a wonderful Real server.When it comes to Windows Media however, you are stuck with NT orWindows 2000. While I have just started doing testing on it, Windows2000 Advanced Server seems to be performing well as a Windows Mediaplatform and seems to be able to handle more streams reliably thanWindows NT 4.0. REAL MEDIA PLAYER : What it comes down to really is deciding which platform you want tosupport. Recent studies have shown that most end-users (consumer-grade)have both Windows Media Player and the Real Player installed. For whatits worth, Real recently licensed the Windows Media format fromMicrosoft although they haven't said what they plan on using it for yet.As for file sizes, there is no easy way to compare because the encodingprocess is much different. Real Media supports a single file thatcontains multiple bit-rate encoding while with the Windows Media formatyou are kinda stuck. Normally a Windows Media file will be smaller, butit is at a set bit-rate, and the RM file will be larger but will bestreamable over a much wider set of bitrate connections reliably.I'm working for CGI at Bell Canada Network Support. We are usingmany UNIX systems and compaq server with NT4.0.One big group use 2 systems for there applications. Bot side have the samesoftwares.1 system is a big UNIX server with many storage and the other system is 5compaqpro-reliant 6500 with NT.1 UNIX do the same thing than 5 compaq 6500 but cost more for hardwaresupport and less stable.5 compaq server 6500 cost less than a big UNIX machine and are more stable. REAL MEDIA PLAYER : What do you mean by "more stable"? If you mean more fault tolerantbecause there are a group of servers if one goes down then ok, but howare a number of potentially unstable NT boxes more stable than one[stable] UNIX box? Am I missing something here?2. What constitutes "many", and how large are these clips?3. How much network bandwidth is going to be available for this server/these servers to saturate?4. Also, is the media content "static" in that it gets streamed from disk/memory to the network, or is there a lot of computational overhead involved beyond the file system and network drivers?5. If the content is somewhat dynamic, what software are you looking at, and has it been optimized to use any multimedia extensions (MMX or KNI on Intel, or VIS on UltraSPARC?)6. Does the software support scaling though the use of multiple servers?7. Do you want to drive off anyone customers who only have RealPlayer and cant/wont run MS stuff?
