1. Launch a streaming lecture video in the RealPlayer.

2. From the RealPlayer Menu Bar select "Tools", and then "2xAV"

3. You now get a playback slider bar beneath the RealPlayer window. Move the slider to the left to slow down the video or move the slider to the right to speed up the playback rate.

4. This software can be purchased for use on home computers from 2xAV Plug-in Enounce.

In our continual efforts to make watching the streaming lecture videos easy, we have upgraded the computers in the LRC Labs to Real Player 10.5 "Perfect Player." What 'Perfect Player' does is temporally download the video into the computers cache while you are watching it. Once the file has completely downloaded, you can then scan anywhere in the lecture video fast and easily without having to wait for it to be buffered by the computer. This will help prevent the network communications that occur when moving the play head thoughout the video.

How does 'Perfect Player' work:

'Perfect Player' starts downloading the video as soon as you open and start watching a video. You will know that it is downloading by a green progress bar that grows as the video downloads. It might be 2-3 minutes before you see the Green Progress bar. It takes about 10 minutes to fully download a 50 minute presentation. It is best not skip around until the download is complete. Doing so may stop the process and cause the download to restart. Once the process is compete you move freely about the video. Once you close the Real Player window then the video will no longer be in the cache.

Ennouce 2xAv will work as normal.
