I just installed Real Server Basic to play with it...very easy install and seems to work.

Is anyone out there using Real Server Basic or Plus on a RAQ4i to stream video? A lot of video? Any comments on performance or things to watch out for? I'm looking for any tips from experienced users...

Also, what user/group do you run the service as? I see in the admin section you can change the user. Just curious what people have done on this for security reasons...

Thanks!

Not entirely related, but just wondering if you've had luck encoding realvideo? I tried and couldn't get a decent looking clip and switched to windows media and the clip was smaller, the quality was 300% better and it seems to stream right off the web without anything special (no server, etc.).

Where can you get it and how do you install it?
