Thanks for all this help!
I have a "least common denominator" philosophy, or maybe it's just that I'm
lazy, but if I make a version for pre-G2 clients, well, that would work for
the G2 clients, too, right? I would just stop there.
I saw the notice about RealSlideshow, but it only came for Windows. :-(
So I'm intrigued by method #2. I'll look for the software you mentioned. I
hope at least one of them comes for the Mac...
Just to make sure I have this right, the idea to combine the one complete
.ra audio file and the separate .jpgs (at their specified times) into a
single .mov? And then convert the .mov into a .rm? Which people would play
with their RealPlayers? If I could do that all, that would be great.
One more question: doing it that way, if a snapshot is supposed to be up
there for, say, a minute, would the server send it over and over again for
that minute, or would it just send it once, wait a minute, and then send
the next image?
