The MP4 lecture files are for web enabled phones or iPad/iPod stuff. You can either left-click on the Lecture files and view them over the web, or you can download them to your computer and play them from there by right-clicking on them, then on “Download Real Video” then “Save Target As.” You cannot download the .rm files by merely right-clicking on them. That will only give you a short one-line rtsp file. Clicking on that will again stream the file over the web.
