lmao!

I just cant get into real player as a media player. I know it has some interesting features, but to me, its just a hassle.

i use to love realplayer but once i got Vista i didnt get it back

I uninstall it on any machine I sit at. Family, friends, etc.

realplayer is pointless & filled w/ ads

I don't like realplayer either, Surprizing, the one I like best for a media player is the add on program I got on the drivers disk that came with my LG dvd-rw

haha as i figured everyone hates realplayer. which is why i posted this news. this is their last big push and once this fails no more realplayer! (probably...and only to be replaced by another crappy media format/player)

Naw, someone will buy them and make it unbearably worse, if possible.

Last time I worked on a computer using AOHell, RealPlayer was being called "The preferred player for AOL".

wmp11 is nice

Winamp5 (only because Winamp3 starts to bug out after 5,000 songs :D).

And the MMD3 skin horizontal.

"Back in the late 90s, everyone used Real Player. Then those cocks at Real Network got greedy, and tried to get their application to take over your entire PC, and people stopped using it. Same thing is happening with Quicktime now. You can't install Quicktime anymore unless you download bullshit iTunes. This section was supposed to be longer, but I couldn't even install iTunes so I could bitch about it. Not that I could have used it for what I wanted to anyway:"

The same way I feel about realplayer. The dancing sheep was cool in the 90's and all, but since then it has been shit. Besides, have people become so lazy as to foret get how to use a proper view source? Half my shit is "protected" that I use wget to copy from the sites main directory. Or just copy, paste and download.

lol @ steevo's linky

russianboywmp11 is nice

the vista one pwns.

I'd still take RealCrap video over some bullshit flash-encoded video that looks like its made out of moving, colored blocks. (I'm looking at you, Youtube!)

I also hate Real Player. I use the Real Alternative codecs with Zoom Media Player instead. Same with Quicktime, although Quicktime isn't nearly as bad as it used to be.

Is their a way to get those pesky .rm .ram etc. files to be played on WMP?

you have to convert them. There are a few .rm to .wmp converters about, but not many are free. :(

my windows media player plays rm, mov, and just about everything else, i think real alternative made it start playing them (or k-lite codec pack) either way, they do play on it without conversion

ooo, thanks. Didn't know that.

I always hated the .rm files (the only thing they have going for them is how small they are). For some reason they corrupted much easier in file transfers. I've put Real Player and Quicktime on the same level for a while. Both are a pain and I don't like either format.
wazzledoozle try "Total Video Player" /Recorder. No improvement in quality but much easier to play and they can be saved.

Real alternative. The lite version is just the codecs, while the normal version comes with Media Player Classic.

Don't post any download links to Real Alternative !

Real Alternative:
According to RealNetworks, this codec pack is illegal, because RealMedia codecs are copyrighted by RealNetworks, and were not licensed by KL Software. According to Karl Lillevold of RealNetworks, KL Software simply re-packages RealNetworks' own DLLs and distributes them without permission.
