We used the RealNetworks video format for the January meeting (RIPE44),
and weren't too impressed with the video quality and certain other issues.

Whilst we won't be using Real as the source encoding again, we _may_ (for
RIPE47) re-encode the stream on the fly to Real (and possibly QuickTime)
as an option.
