rm = realmedia, you can play it with realplayer or with (k)mplayer/xine/... if 
you have enabled the real codecs for them (possibly also need the win32 
codecs, they also contain some of older the real codecs IIRC).

e.g. 
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/linux-realplayer && make install clean

or 
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
make config (and enable the real support)
make install clean

I'm not sure if maybe the java applets on that website intend to embed the 
video (if that is so, it works poorly I reckon ;-)

HTH,
