      rtsp://real.playstream.com:554/iberlin/video/dance.rm

    Notice from the above:

    • different protocols are used: mms and rtsp.
    • the .asx pointer files need to be in the same directory as the HTML page which call them.
    • To edit these files, first change their file extension to .txt

    To display video, provide an OBJECT section for Microsoft browsers and an EMBED section is for Netscape browsers:
