Re: Play RM files, not using REAL MEDIA PLAYER
Real Media player alternative for RM format
Quicktime alternative for Apple Quicktime format
VLC player for everything else
And don't forget to install K-Lite Codec pack.

Re: Play RM files, not using REAL MEDIA PLAYER
as rakeshishere pointed out, I too have heard that the latest version supports realmedia. But this site says otherwise
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
in the features
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html
Unfortunately I do not have any realmedia files readily available on my pc to check out.
RealMedia Alternative works quite well and is lightweight from my experience

Re: Play RM files, not using REAL MEDIA PLAYER
So they removed support for realmedia files in the latest version? Why would they do that?
Oh, ok, but where do we get 0.8.4a

Re: Play RM files, not using REAL MEDIA PLAYER
VLC never supported RM files .. Better is to install RM codecs with Ace Mega Codec or K Lite and use BSPlayer or MPClassic ...
I never install RealPlayer .. I suspect it as a spyware ...

IF VLC never supported RM files then how did i play and check it ...JUst say the latest version doesnt support RM files and me too think Real player is some sort of spyware and you can have the proper use of all its functions only if u have purchased the full version which is some what suckin

Re: Play RM files, not using REAL MEDIA PLAYER
Use k-lite codec pack to add the codecs in ur windows media player
And u can play many damn VDO files in ur windows media player classic.

Well, test the file using a tool like GSpot to identify what format/codec it really has/uses.
