Very nice piece of software. I had some issues with Windows Vista though. If you run a multi-user environment the installer does not replace all paths in the registry. You have to replace all occurences of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\ with C:\Program Files\Real Alternative in the registry yourself. Otherwise Real Alternative won't load correctly for other users. (Media Player classic can't open files without admin privs, so does Internet Explorer. Firefox crashes when trying to load the plugin.)

Most excellent package thank you.
The included media player is very good. Spend some time with the file extensions settings - you can point pretty much anything at it.
Test your playback at my dot.org box anytime:

I have been using this a few years now, after I got fed up with Real Player always adding it processes to startup, and always trying to make connections even when specially diabled all those options.
Anyway this is a must have program, and is a great way of getting MPC on top. Works with every Real media file I have used, so no problems there.
I have read some info on the net that it might not be leagl using this pogram, but i don\'t care as its much better than the orgional Real Player.

Thanks for the RA package. I've been using it on and off for years now. However, I still have problems receiving streaming RAM files with RA from a seemingly busy/high-traffic site:
http://www.democracynow .org
System:
Windows XP
Celeron 256k
DSL
After approx 1 min 30 sec, RA shuts down and the following message appears:
"Connection to server has timed out. You may be experiencing network problems."
On a separate computer with Real Player installed, this is not a problem.
Otherwise, other streaming sites seem to work with RA.
Please fix this.

I have two computers (both Windows Vista Ultimate), and I installed Real Alternative on both systems. But on one of the machines, I get this flashing green vertical bar right in the center of the video, when I try to play a RMVB file. Very strange, because it works fine on my other computer...

Around 50% of real videos I like to watch (because d**n webpages don't offer other formats) don't play with real alternative (player crashes). For example those here:

What's wrong?

The fact that it doesn't support streaming media on WMP 10 defies the purpose of this program!
Most Real files are stremed people, so it's pointless to have a codec that can't play streaming content.

and users with problems, you must have messed up your codecs or something, or there's been severe bugs in earlier versions of real alternative, since i can't see a single flaw with this product.

Really, not so good. I discovered that in order to play MovieLink downloads I had purchased, I had to update $RealPlayer$, except $Real Player$ was wiped off my system in the install of MPC.
Now I am searching the system for the uninstall program for MPC, so I can reinstall $$$RealPlayer$$$.
So MPC works fine, but the lack of an uninstall, and the inability to mimic $$RealPlayer$$ to MovieLink are definite drawbacks.

I had a question. You see i have K-lite codec package installed and media player classic. But i still cant play the videos i want on it. So i was thinking that maybe Realplayer alt. could help. But what would happen if i installed it and still keeping my K-lite package? I would really appreciate some help!

If you encounter the msg "cannot render the file" when trying to play real media in Media Player Classic, rename the extension of the downloaded file .ram by .smil

Hope this is the right place to post a suggestion. Posted this in relivant areas
I've been using RA, QA MPc and VLC and G-Spot and Audio Identifier for some time now, ever since i came accross them eons ago. With this tools I am able to watch and listen to, I would say 95% of all formats (mainstream).
Is it possible to save a single installer for these items with option to pick and choose? Especially with QA and RA as I have noticed they both duplicate MPc (but in RA MPc is one version behind. VLC is a bonus as is the two codec identifiers.
RA Real Alternative
QA QuickTime Alternative
MPc Media Player Classic
VLC VideoLAN Client
Thanks

I am not looking for another media player though. I am using a software with its own data base and that software has some media files in .RM (real media) format, but it is configured to play these files using Windows Media Player. The software comes with some updates to install required codecs for WMP to run .RM files. It does not work though. The reason is that i am using win xp with WMP 10 and it is not supported by that software. I know that someone has downloaded a codec to play these files in the same environment, but unfortunately i am not able to contact this person. Can any one help in paying these .rm files on win media player ver 10?
Would greatly appreciate your help.
you can contact me directly at ctax2242@[nospam]aol.com
Thanks.

It won't stream files, which is a big drawback for me. A few times I would actually have to use RealPlayer to handle those files. It is okay for offline content though, because you can still play them on Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic. Still, this is nowhere as good as how Quicktime Alternative performed.

It's small and fast and plays .rm files on my xp system; what more could I ask?
I agree with comment 22 Apr 2006 | Written by: Graham, that after clicking Stop, there's no way to Play other than closing RA and clicking the filename in Explorer. A pain in the ass and so noticeable it should have been spotted immediately by the developer and fixed. Havent tried any previous versions so don't know if this bug occurred in any.
Havent tried the Mozilla/Firefox plugin.
I'm GLAD this app UNINSTALLS Real Player, which was installed on my machine by the vendor.

Well, I haven't tried it on every possible site. I had been doing a lot of listening to BBC live, but BBC offers WMP or REAL as options, no big deal. Then, I wanted to see some video on PBS--no dice, I had uninstalled my RealPlayer 10 because it was a resource hog. So I had to install something in the REAL category. Real Alternative worked flawlessly on both BBC and PBS. Maybe you don't mind the resource hogging of RealPlayer, but if you do, and don't mind the lack of fancy options, and you just want to play REAL streaming video or audio format, and use low resources, Real Alternative worked for me (WinXp system.)

I have no problem playing .rmvb files but I can't open .rm or .ram files. I've tried different players and none of them seem to work. I've tried renaming the file to .rmvb and opening the file in textpad to get the rtsp string. Neither of those have worked.
