The most cursory of looks suggests that those are all Real Media files, so presumably you'll need RealPlayer to view them.

No problems. You do need Real Player as already stated here and on that page:

MIT's iFluids program has made a number of the films from this series available on the web. (Realplayer is required. Download/Purchase information.)
