Subject: Re: 2 hour clip
This should not be a problem if you can satisfy these 2 requirements:
-- one, you need more disk space for the file (no big deal)
-- two, the network connection from the listener's RealPlayer to the server
should be reliable enough to sustain the 2 hours streaming.
The only difference between a 1 minute and a 2 hour clip is the length of
time needed for a clean connection because the streaming rate is still the
same. You probably use 16k for mono or 20k for stereo which will make your
2 hour file 14MB(mono) or 17.5MB(stereo.)
If your listeners do experience bad network connection over the longer
listening period, you could place the file on a FTP server and make it
available to download and play locally. Further, you could split the one
large file into say four smaller approx 30 minute files which can be
downloaded fairly quickly.
