Real Alternative 2.0.2

I am a newcomer to the Real world and am hoping that someone can give me some advice before I download Real Alternative 1.37
I have Windows XP with Windows Media Player 10.

What I would like answers to are the following questions.....

1. Will Windows Media Player 10 work with Real Alternative 1.37 by just downloading Real Media Codecs version 6.0.12872 ?
2. Do I need to download Real Media Direct Show Splitter version 1.0.0.9 as well ?

I am more than happy with Windows Media Player 10, I just wish that it would play ra and rm files without all this hassle !

Many thanks to anyone that can help.

Holy cow! Tinfoil hat alert. Someone didn't take their meds today.....

Anyhoo, I tried the Real Alternative, and it works great. Thank God I could finally get rid of RealPlayer.

Real Alternative isn't fully functional realmedia player. It doesn't all all the parameters that realmedia supports. I can't play embedded content which have the following parameters in their address:

.rm?start=4:00

and

"local machine pathname" /statpos:00:16.4

It works but realplayer, but not real alternative.

Just an appendix... Jet Audio will play ALL Real files. It's freeware in its basic version, and isn't spyware or adware. I'm glad if I helped someone..

For real audio clips (ra. -s)use JetAudio 6.1. http://www. jetaudio. com/download/index.html. Works great!

Excellent. Only slight initial problem was at a web-site that uses a pop up window to play the videos. The first time I tried to stream an .rm video clip, it gave message in the green "rebuffering" strip which read "detecting proxy settings" which stalled the playing of the clip for about a minute or so. It finally played after that and subsquently there was no repetition of this kind of delay.

this software is great! i hated the realplayer and now, I can listen to whatever i want...thumbs up

to NT4 and w2000 users: get a proper, up-to-date OS ffs!

Real Alternative and quicktime works great under w.m. classic. and it is free. Only unistall realplayer 1 or 10 and Quicktime 6.5. via regcleaner. It is a must have for it plays all the codecs from old to the newest version esp.the soundfiles. Older codecs are missing in wmp.10. So they say look on the web but if you already can find the older codec mostly you have to pay for it. So do install these little codec programms in the proper way than it will amaze you. Again it is for free. Greetings all. Oh don,t uninstall wmp 10 because
you can always use this quy.

after having troubles with realplayer 1 and 10 i installed real alternative with wmp classic together and i must say it works great. you must use them together. i am still working with wmp 10 and that goes fine to.as i need it. you have to see it so by this programm you have all the codecs from real and wmp from old to new. and it is for free. don,t forget that.
It works so well because the old codecs to play audio in wmp 10 and realplayer 1 or10 (they have forgotten to install these) still are working fine under real alternative.
Iam working under WXP.

A good alternative to realplayer 10. Nice and simple. No Ads, burning option, etc. My probem is that I've setup a streaming media machine which works fine except that using real alternative you can't use the slider to go back and forth in the film, it just hangs. Which means I can't really recommend it to others. Slider works ok in real player 10. Nearly there. Streaming media server is helix version 10. (same happens to all helix versions). keep up the good work. PS What's the real alternative Linux Option?

Media Player Classic has been flawless but I didn't read enough good about Real Alternative 1.29 so I saved it for later. I just had a system crash and installing Real Alternative 1.29 is one reason I can be happy. Media Player Classic survived the crash and I got rid of that stupid crashing Real Player for good. I write HTML for fun and my browser plays embedded media and connects to my favorite radio station on web pages I authored. It's great, that is all.

Cant you guys understand that the player included in the package is NOT PROVIDED BY THIS SITE!!! It's The old cla$$ic Windows MEDIA PLAYER and its just included there for you to use. Its the codec that these guys made not the player. Duh!

Works perfectly for me. I'm using a pyrated copy of Windows XP Professional with only service pack 1 (windows update won't let me get service pack 2 because my xp copy is illegal, hehe). After Real Player stole credit card numbers, passwords and other personal information with their previous "download manager" program, i will never trust those jerks again. Real Player is probably working with the privacy-invading Echelon or something like that. Conspiracy so trust no one, choose the underdog!

works great for me, doesn't try to take over your comuter the way RealPlayer does, I hated realplayer

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.
