That's right. Real's whole thing from ca. 1996 (until the last time I looked) has been their own Real-Time Streaming Protocol. If you open up one of the Real meta files (the http:// one) it will contain a reference to a file that begins rtsp:// That file is inaccessible except to the Real software (the player has a statistics panel if you want to see it in action). Various other program wrap the original file in a similar way; Flash has one, and it's used on YouTube.
