The videos are available in two different sizes. The smaller one is suitable for a dial-up connection and is designed to be downloaded / played in real-time (a 6 minute video should take 6 minutes to download). The larger one is suitable for a broadband connection like a cable modem or network and is higher quality (both audio and video); it should download faster than you can play it over a broadband connection, but will take much longer over a dial-up connection.
There are two choices for each video. You may choose to have the video streamed, which means that it will play as it downloads but it may skip portions if your connection isn't fast enough, or you may choose to download the entire file and then play it. If you have a dial-up connection, but want to see the larger, higher quality video, then you should download it and then play it.

The RealPlayer 8 Basic version is nestled under several layers of menus and they really try to push the Plus version (not free) instead, so here's what you'll need to do to grab the player.
