After I install real Alternative 1.29, not all real video can be opened, most of them cannot be opened, but real play can open all the real video. Why, this program so $uck$.

Downloaded 1.29 for my Windows XP SP2 (Chinese edition) with Media Player 10.0. All I can say is Real Alternative 1.29 kicks butt. It runs all files that I need to view such as .dat, .avi., .rmvb. and .mpeg without any problem.

I am not sure if this is from Real Alternative. I installed it, and now I cannot start my RealPlayer 10.5. I was thinking I would have both to use. XP SP2, ~1.2 Athlon, 512 DDR. Do I need to uninstall RealAlternative, and then re-install RealPlayer? Any help is good.

Real Alternative 1.29-28-27

I liked the alternative concept but 2 things made me go back to realplayer :

-no advanced equalization

-maybe an exception, but i could not enjoy this player while maximizing or reducing windows. When doing it, i would hear each times brief interruptions...
Pity, because when not touching any windows, the reception is *perfect*, wich isn't the case of real that bleep at least 1 time per minute...i guess i'll try double screen and put realalternative on a dedicated screen ? hmhmhm...

OK 1.28 doesn't work for me I'm back to 1.27 which is great
Whenever I play a ram in 1.28, the sound stops after a few seconds/minute even though the download continues.
Oh and it still won't auto-install the plugins for Firefox :/

On XP/SP2. Downloaded RealAlternative 1.28. After deinstalling RealMediaPlayer10 run install RA but then nothing ! I check : no RVxx (RealMedia) Codec on mycomputer. I already had MPC but tried deinstalling and reinstall with RA to if it hepled with getting codecs.
I need RV codecs to play realmedia mkv file in VLC.
What can I do ? I can't understand why it won't work for me. Nobody seem to get this pb.
Is there a way to get help. Thanks.

This is one of the coolest things on earth. It's practically bliss. Realmedias Realplayer is a bad joke, a bulkload of advertisments and marketing research tools, it just $uck$ and makes my windows system go wack and me to. But this alternative Player is small slick and totally cool. I love you man.

Are the Codecs from Real or from some Free/Open Source developer?

If they are from Real, wouldn't they be freaking out about the use of proprietary software (the codecs) in this package?

I was unable to load it because of a missing function in ddraw.dll. How can I contact the maker?

Works great for me. I practically never use Realplayer for obvious reasons, but whenever I do this does the trick.
