GRiNS Quick Reference Information

SMIL Compliance Information

The GRiNS supports the entire SMIL 2.0 specification, although not all features are previewed during editing. Documents that make use of these constructs are parsed correctly, but the features are ignored during rendering.

Notes

1. Preview support seems to be somewhat buggy.

2. Not all encodings supported.

3. HTML data is rendered by the GRiNS Preview Player, but not converted to RealText.

Each of these formats is converted to the appropriate RealSystem datatype. For highest quality rending of a final presentation, we recommend converting some datatypes to RealMedia before inserting them in a presentation, if possible.

RealOne Media Conversion

The following chart describes the levels of support provided in the GRiNS/RealOne version for the listed RealMedia data types used in the RealNetworks RealOne Player:

RealMedia	Extension	Importable	Generated
RealAudio	ra, rm	yes	yes
RealVideo	rm	yes	yes
RealText	rt	yes	no(1)
RealPix	rp	yes	no

Notes

1. GRiNS/RealOne provides support for the automatic generation of simple RealText documents from immediate strings in the Editor, but it does not at present provide full RealText editing facilities. This is expected in a future release.

2. GRiNS/RealOne can import and convert most existing RealPix files.
