Why won't my RealVideo
(.rm) files play in the editor?
RealNetworks has confirmed that there is a bug in the RealONE
plugin that GRiNS uses to decode the RealVideo format. They have said
that they are working on a fix, but it is not currently known when it
will be made available. You can check for the upgrade by clicking the
Menu... button in the RealONE Player, and then selecting the bottom Check
for upgrade... entry in the list.
When I export my presentation, my currently working animations now don't work in the RealONE player?
The W3C sumbitted a late change to the SMIL-2.0 specification where the animateMotion element
required parentheses around the start/stop position values. However, these changes were submitted after RealONE's player
was developed and thus currently the player does not follow the new specification. The difference is shown below:
Works in GRiNS Editor/Player:
<animateMotion values="(-298 2);(2 0)" keyTimes="0;1" fill="freeze" GRiNS:editGroup="2"/>
Works in RealONE Player:
<animateMotion values="-298 2;2 0" keyTimes="0;1" fill="freeze" GRiNS:editGroup="2"/>
My RealONE player says that it cannot find media objects that contain whitespaces or special characters!
The GRiNS Editor for RealONE follows the ISO specification that indicates that URLS should convert special characters using the % method.
RealONE currently is not following that specification and it is not known if they plan on fixing it. Thus the GRiNS Editor still follows the proper
standard. In order to fix this, edit the exported SMIL file and convert the %20 to a whitespace. This also applies for all other special characters.
For more information regarding special escaped characters, visit the W3C site at the following URL:
