Have you tried installing Real Alternative?

Real Alternative sucks badly. Better install Satsuki Decoder Pack.

Don't you still need to install Gabest's RealMedia splitter for playback in any direct-show based player?

Check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/


Cheers

PS: More information in the subject title would be welcome, next time please PkmoNk

Okay, download the RealMedia Splitter (http://82.2.167.24/Uploaded_Files/Doom9_Forum_files/RealMedia_DSDec_Filter.zip) and install it as per the instructions.

Don't forget to let us know how you get on?

problem solved! whew

the problem seemed to be because RM renders with DirectX 9 as default. so when i selected using dx 7 it plays fine now. im going to school now so ill check up a bit more when i get back. cheers!

back! well i just went to check if i had DX and everything. but didnt seem to find anything so i did a new install of DX9 and restarted and it still wouldnt play if i render with dx9 so... doesn't really make a difference to me. if anyone konws a diff, let me know ^^.

anyways a problem solved and hopefully future problems can be answered by this.

If you finally got round to installing the RealMedia Splitter, you should find that you will be able to play RealMedia content in 'all' your direct-show based players.

This includes WindowsMedia Player 9 (WMP9), MPC, ZoomPlayer, etc, etc.
