the blurring that you are seeing with real media clips is done by the built in post-processing of the REALPLAYER. the "blurryness" is not actually in the video file. Apparently, in the next version of the Realone player, it will allow us to configure the post-processing. also, the realone player, as it is now, tries to automatically detect a good post-processing level, so I would have to disagrtee with that even at very high bitrates RV9 is "blurry". try encoding a clip at, say, 2500 kbps. it will be a very sharp image. the realone player only post-processes like crazy when it detects too much video noise or pixelation, or not even. yes, it is WAY too harsh, but that is only because the real PLAYER was designed too play STREAMING media where more post-processing might be needed to clean up the clip. real networks is starting to understand that they could also support high quality high bitrate video, so future improvments in their player is inevitable the way I see it.

sorry about spelling/grammatical errors, I'm tired.

p.s.: what the hell is "ofkoz"? does it mean "of coarse"?
