Audiocity and Real One player - WAVs being weird

[The Dying Informant]

I have some wav files, and I want to edit them (cut it down). I do this in Audacity and export it as wav (to save it right). Ok but then Real One player, which is the default to play wavs and mp3s, doesn't recognise it. It says I need a special plug in. But its WAV? So what exactly does this mean? Does Audacity give its its own tag or something? The file plays in media player, but not real player, so I want to know how I could fix this.

Thanks.

If you ripped the .wav's from a DVD(AC3 first) then they are not 44.1 PCM .wav files....they are 48. That MIGHT be your problem....MAYBE.

Well I ripped them from a game CD, I don't know what PCM does. All I know is they play fine before, I edit them in Audacity, and now the same player (realone) doesn't much like it. Pretty weird...

Try to load them in Windows AudioRecorder or Windows Mediaplayer and look for the kbps. Do a "save as" in Windows AudioRecorder as PCM .wav 44.1 - that will also enable you to make a CD of the music. Anything else and CD burning programs won't make an audio CD of it.
