How to Improve RealPlayer 14 Streaming

RealPlayer 14 can stream H.264 HD video.

You can improve streaming on the RealPlayer 14 media player by disabling hardware acceleration on your computer. Although hardware acceleration is designed to improve video playback, it can often slow down streaming videos or lead to very choppy performance. After disabling the setting you will see a faster streaming speed within the media player.

Instructions

1. Click the "Start" button on your computer, then select the "Control Panel" option.

2. Click the "Display" icon in the window that appears. Select the "Settings" tab, then choose "Advanced Settings."

3. Click the "Troubleshoot" tab, and choose "Change Settings." Click and drag the slider in the "Hardware Acceleration" section to the far left. Move the slider as far left as possible.
