Subject: Question about Buffering

Hi,
I'm new to the RealServer product, and had a couple of questions those =
who are more experienced. I am currently in the process of developing a =
web site that will incorporate using RealPlayer as a plug-in.  I have =
gotten my show to run via both Internet Explorer and Netscape, however, =
as it loads the show (via http) in both browsers, it actually takes 5 =
seconds to buffer the show stream.  When I open the .smil file in the =
stand alone RealPlayer G2 using http, the show does not need any buffer =
time to load the show.  My questions are:
1. Is there a difference between the stand alone version of RealPlayer =
and the RealPlayer plug-in?
2. Why does the RealPlayer need to buffer the show?
3. Are there parameters I can set so that when I load the show it =
doesn't need any time to buffer the show?
4. Does this make any sense?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.  Sorry if I'm not using the =
terminology correctly.
Regards,
Frederick
