NEVER believe marketing slogans (except, Sprite, maybe ;-) )!

Second, I didn't even managed to download the basic version!? I even filled out their crappy form (how I hate such things)...

And I just don't have the motivation to search for a download mirror somewhere.

Cheers,

Mijo.

P.s.: Is Helix the succesor of RealMedia producer?

I downloaded the basic version. It keeps crashing on Win XP machie but runs fine on another.

It seems to be much better than WMA. I like it better than QT's MPEG4 as well.

Real has a free basic download link. Why don't you try it?
