HelixPlayer does not support RealAudio or RealVideo, (or Mp3) due to
licensing issues for the Codecs. That may or may not be a
deal-breaker, since HelixPlayer would unlikely be able to play
streaming real video, such as the commencement webcast or other AMPS
productions (unless they're using a different codec now).
See this FAQ for the differences:
