I am trying to get a rm file to buffer before a movie starts to play. Right now, I get a black frame until my rm file loads, it plays, then I get the real video splash frame while my video loads. Anyone know how I can get the .rm file to replace the real splash frame? I want one smooth transition between my "Please Wait.... Video Buffering" and the movie itself, I do not want to get the Real splash frame....

i have a similar problem. i want to tell the realplayer that it doesn't buffer my videos as long as it normaly does. so we're looking for a way to set the buffer time.

about your problem: you can tell realplayer not to show the real logo and to use a specific background color (instead of black).

look at BACKGROUNDCOLOR and NOLOGO.
