Real Audio and Forms - Giving me a Headache
Can't you just manually change .ra to .ram?

I have .ra files on my clients web site. When I click on the link to spawn the real audio player, it does not stream, it will continue to download the whole file. I know that I need a .ram file, but how to accuire that? Sound Forge only saves as .ra. Is there some code that I am missisng? Where do I put the files on the ftp?
Now Forms....
Do I need CGI? I have the form set to "post" to my email, but when I fill it out i never recieve an email. Do I need to put it into a folder specifically for forms?
Thanks

Guys,
I don't think you can rename the .ra file to .ram. The .ram file is just a text file that points to your .ra file.
The .ram file should contain a line like:
rtsp://location-of-real-server/yourdomain/ra-file.ra
That's for the G2 standard, if you're just using regular http to stream you can probably use:
http://yourdomain/ra-file.ra
I can't remember the old Realplayer 4-5 standard I think it was:
pnm://yourdomain/ra-file.ra
but don't quote me on that one
So a realplayer file (audio/video) comes in 2 parts, the .ra file which is the actual content and the .ram file which is a text file containing the link to the .ra file.
Later,
PJ
