Nope, proprietary codec, proprietary player, you have to install RealPlayer. No major problems iirc, but I haven't dealt with it in years...just haven't run into anything I wanted that was only available in RP. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: RealPlayer for Mac, Problems?
Hi Al, Real Player has been known to be a memory hog. Not to mention the ads and other junk it wants to install... Have you tried VideoLan (VLC) Player? It supports most audio / video formats: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Best of luck to you. - Patrick Berg - RealPlayer for Mac, Problems? #134a7deab69c52b2_group_thread_0 [1 Update] RealPlayer for Mac, Problems?http://groups.google.com/group/imaclist/t/3da6286e59a78a04 Al Poulin alfred.pou...@gmail.com Jan 03 06:11PM -0800 I'd like to use RealPlayer files.

I've sent a file for testing to my son who has VLC. Like Bruce, he hasn't used RealPlayer nor seen .ram files in years.

I think RealPlayer isn't as bad as it once was, but it still annoyingly prompts you to quit your web browser so it can install an internet plug-in. If you want to steer clear of RealPlayer, VLC can play real files. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html Tina -- Acceleron: HP Presario 2.8GHz Celeron D 2GB RAM Discrete graphics XP Pro Luxo Jr: iMac 20 USB 2 1.25GHz G4 2GB RAM GeForceFX5200 Ultra 64MB VRAM 10.4.11 Worm: PowerBook G4 15 HR-DLSD 1.67GHz G4 2GB RAM Radeon 9700 128MB VRAM 10.5.8 Quadrophenia: Mac Pro Mid-2010 2.8 GHz QC 6 GB RAM Radeon HD 5770 1GB VRAM 10.6.8 -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
