progressive download rmvb

[agilpwc]

Is there any way to progressive download a rmvb video, aka play it in Real Player as it is downloading?

yes, works just fine in RealPlayer, but it may not work if you click on the http link to the RMVB in your browser. I just tested it, and I had to copy the link, then choose open.. in RealPlayer, and paste the http link into RealPlayer. Then it starts playing while it is downloading :)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the answer. I did some experimenting myself and found that if you rename the .rmvb to .rm they work perfectly well. Including allowing you to click on a link in a browser.
