Ello Nimbus,

Your best option is RealAlternative..
The download site says this about it:
_____________________________

Real Alternative will allow you to play RealMedia files without having to install RealPlayer/RealOne Player.

You do need a player that is capable of playing RealMedia. The included Media Player Classic supports it and works very well. Supported: RealAudio (.ra .rpm), RealMedia (.rm .ram .rmvb .rpx .smi .smil), RealText (.rt), ReadPix (.rp), RealMedia embedded in webpages. .smi and .smil files sometimes only play the first part of a clip. This is a limitation of the current Media Player Classic. The RealMedia Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla.

Features of Real Alternative 1.27 Final :

- Media Player Classic [version 6.4.8.2]
- RealMedia Codecs [version 6.0.12.1053]
- RealMedia DirectShow splitter [version 1.0.0.9]
- RealMedia plugin for Internet Explorer
- RealMedia plugin for Opera/Mozilla/Netscape
- Bandwidth settings tool

Changes from Real Alternative 1.26 to Real Alternative 1.27 :

- Fixed uninstall bug

- Updated RealMedia codecs to 6.0.12.1053
- Updated RealMedia Browser plugin to 6.0.12.1053
- Fixed the volume problem
- Improved the DirectX related settings for Media Player Classic
- Minor fixes and improvements

I've heard that Windows Media player now has plugins that allow it to play realmedia files and quicktime files....since most people have WMP, I would think that less software=less crap installed=longer before you need to format to keep sanity (assuming you still have it)

If you know where to get the Quicktime plugin, please post a link! I am really tired of the "Upgrade to Pro" pop up every time that I open the Quicktime Player

My digicam records video in QT so I have to use it, at least until I convert them to AVI (DivX/MP3).

I think that I read that info about the plugins when I was reading about Firefox and somehow thought it was for WMP instead...I googled for a while and didn't find anything. Sorry about that

. If they did exist, they would probably be here: http://www.wmplugins.com/

Nope, searching for "Quicktime" does not get a plug-in to watch QT movies

. Thanks anyway.
