sending video by email

Hi - I recorded from the osprey camera at Loch Garten in the summer and I can watch it from my computer here at work (where I recorded it) direct from the cam page where it says "download this video", it opens in RealPlayer.  I can't play direct from RealPlayer because they don't seem to be filed in there (not sure where they go when I record).

I'd like to have them at home so I emailed to myself from RealPlayer, but when I click on the Play arrow it just goes to the current page of the nestcam, which is obviously closed now. Presumably it just show me live pictures if it was going.

I thought maybe I didn't have the right program to open it, but I tried to open from the email at work and it did the same thing.

What am I doing wrong?
