Real Alternative will allow you to play RealMedia files without having to install RealPlayer or RealOne Player from Real Networks. Supported are: RealAudio (.ra .rpm), RealMedia (.rm .ram .rmvb .rpx .smi .smil), RealText (.rt) and ReadPix (.rp). It also supports RealMedia content that is embedded in webpages. The very user-friendly installation is fully customizable, which means that you can install only those components that you want.
It is highly recommended to uninstall all existing Real related software, like RealPlayer or RealOne Player, before installing. This way your system stays clean and potential problems will be avoided.

Yea, I really like it. Much better than the "real" realplayer IMO. I used this + the divx player until I found the K-lite Mega Codec Pack. If you liked Real Alt, you'll love this, which packs most codecs in one. It uses Media Player Classic, just like Real Alt.

Dont worry, there's no affiliation to Kazaa that I've found in the program, only the name.

codec packs are for weiners. All you need if you know what you are doing is Koepi's Xvid Codec, and the latest Divx Codec and AC3 Filter.

I use Media Player Classic, which has Real Alternative built into it. It also supports Quicktime files:

Oh, I get it, Real alternative, is a codec?

Yes, and it only works with Media Player Classic. Same with Quicktime Alternative. The cool thing is, the plugins work in your browser too.

What do you mean they only work with MPC? I use BSplayer to play both RealMedia and Quicktime files.

Cool, never knew something like this even existed. I never really cared for Real or Quicktime but thought I had to just deal with it since there appeared to be no alternative. I guess I was wrong. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I usually just stay away from bad quality quicktime videos and crummy real-player feeds. If they couldn't take the time to use something more mainstream then it isn't worth my time anyway.... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
