RM files on any player bar realplayer.

[bigmicka]

Hi everybody,

is there any other software player that will allow me to play realmedia files on it, other than realplayer. I hate there intrusive software and would prefer to view there files in other software.

anyone know of such a player?

thanks

There is such a player. It will even allow you to convert RM files for 15 days. http://www.eo-video.com

wait... crap. I forgot, you have to have the "real" real media player installed. I apologize.

no, i think u need only the codecs.

[bigmicka]

can you get rm codecs?

[Greg12]

actually i have done this.


I installed real player 8.

Copied the system folder

uninstalled 8

Re-installed 7 Plus

replaced system folder

RM 8 played back even though i hadn't installed the codecs offically into 7Plus.

full motion video, FMV plays realmedia files, it is shareware, but um well that's a minor hurdle:

ah heck I just noticed you still have to have realmedia player installed but it is a different player at least. I'll keep a look out for a player that doesn't need realplayer installed.
