video on C-span

[Belle]

I have been trying to watch the video of the Senate hearing on stem cell research on C-span. When I click on the URL link with the C-span home page open in Real Player, I get a 'page not found' error. None of the other video files will load either - although those just seem to lock up. Suggestions???

Belle,

The link rtsp://video.c-span.org/15days/e071404_stemcell2.rm?mode=compact seems to be working now. It takes a little time for it to load, depending on the bandwidth of your connection. Make sure that you have the latest version of Real Player.

Wise.

ah, excellent! Thanks Wise.

When I put that address in the Real Player window, it adds a bunch of other characters in front of it, like so:

res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdoclc.dll/syntax.htm#rtsp://video.c-span.org/15days/e071404_stemcell2.rm?mode=compact

then it says it can't find the page!

I have the most recent realplayer

???

I'm going to try it from the link on the c-span page again

Belle, I have to leave it to the Windows experts to solve this problem. Windows error message leave me totally confused. I use the Mac. Wise.

Can someone post a link to the original site where the video is.

What version of realplayer do you have? I have v10. I copied that link that Dr. Young posted below and pasted it into my real player. If I paste it into the browser window, it didn't load. In real player, I clicked file/open, and pasted the following URL:
rtsp://video.c-span.org/15days/e071404_stemcell2.rm?mode=compact
