Real Alternative

[cro-man]

A new version of Real Alternative has been released. There have been only minor changes compared to the previous version.

Changelog 1.52 -> 1.60 | (2007-09-11)

* Updated Media Player Classic

* MPC is now installed in the application folder

* The RealMedia ActiveX control for Internet Explorer is now listed as a separate component in the installer.

* Minor changes

Real Alternative will allow you to play RealMedia files without having to install RealPlayer.

All RealMedia formats (.ra .rm .rmvb .ram .rpm .rv .rp .rt .rnx .smi .smil etc.) are supported, including streaming content and RealMedia content that is embedded in webpages.

Some advantages compared to RealPlayer:

* Quick and easy install

* It's easy to make an unattended installation

* Proper uninstallation

* No background processes

* Use a player of your own choice

* Low on resources

* No advertising, no registration forms, nothing annoying

Limitations:

* .smi and .smil files only play the first part of a clip. This is only a problem when the clip consists of multiple parts. These files are not very common. These files do play correctly when embedded in a browser.

* The RealMedia DirectShow splitter does not work with streaming content. You must use the included Media Player Classic to play streaming content.

Works on Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista.

Version 1.60:

* Media Player Classic [version 6.4.9.1]

* RealMedia components [version 6.0.12.1741]

* RealMedia plugin for Internet Explorer

* RealMedia plugin for Opera/Mozilla/Netscape

* RealMedia DirectShow splitter [version 1.0.1.1]

Version 1.60 Lite:

The only difference between the regular and lite versions is that the lite version does not include Media Player Classic.
