Real Video, a product of Real Networks, can allow you to stream video on demand and live video performances across the Web or a corporate Intranet. For purposes of our discussion of Real Video encoding services, our focus is on how we can enable you to add streaming video to your website easily and inexpensively using the Real Video format. We can prepare your Real Video encoding project in either version 5, 6 (G2), 7, 8, 9, or the new version 10 format.

We currently use the Real Video streaming video format on several of our pages and invite you to watch any of these movies at this time by following any of the links on our navigation bar to the left which are followed by this movie symbol: We would recommend that you begin by watching the video clips contained on our customer page.

The Real Video format is our own personal favorite and is used by the vast majority of websites with streaming video content. As of June 2000, Real Networks has reported that over 125 million of their players have been downloaded by web users, and that this number is growing by 175,000 new users per day. They have also recently announced that the Real Video player will now be bundled with:

• Netscape 4.5
• AOL 4.0
• Lotus Notes
• Gateway and IBM PC's

No Expensive Hardware or Server Software Is Required

Depending upon the volume of simultaneous video streams you'd like to broadcast, you may not even need a dedicated video server or one of Real Networks' software server packages. When we encode your video, it will be prepared to stream either with or without video server software. In most situations, you'll be able to stream your video directly from your existing web server using your existing ISP.

Real Networks' software server systems can cost from as little as $1,000 to in excess of $25,000. Please feel free to call us at 630-690-7611 if you'd like to discuss whether you can use the Real Video format without any additional hardware or software. For a complete information about the variety of systems you can purchase from Real Networks, please visit their server systems page.

Technology Improvements & Upgrade Price Protection

Real Video and Windows Media are constantly improving the quality of their streaming video encoding and player products. Real Networks, for example is now in their 8th version and Windows Media is in their 7th version in only 5 years. Over time, this has resulted in higher quality audio and video. At some point in the future, you may want your videos re-encoded using newer technology which delivers higher quality playback. To protect our customers from the high cost of having us re-encode their videos, and to insure that our customers can always have state of the art streaming video available on their sites, we guarantee to re-encode your original videos using the latest technology available at 50% of what you originally paid. This offer applies only to the original videos we encoded, using the same format and same speed selections and is good for two years from the date of your original order. CyberTech Media was the first company in the streaming media industry, and to the best of our knowledge, we're still the only company to offer this protection to our customers.

To add streaming video to your website or corporate Intranet, simply send us your DVD, Beta SP, Mini-DV, VHS, S-VHS, Umatic or Hi-8 video clips using our mail-in video submission form. Please call us 630-690-2141. You may also e-mail us at media@cybertechmedia.com if you have any questions.
