539023 2007-04-08 12:48:00 Just a question. I upgraded to Vista and am hesitating to dowmload that dreadful program realplayer again for my .rm files. i hate it, as it comes with an ongoing stream of products that I don't want and is not very stable. I wonder, shall i convert all my rm files with VirtualDubMod or is there another good viewer for rm files that I can use. What would you do?
Cheers

539024 2007-04-08 12:54:00 Will Winamp play .rm files? or there might be some other players out there that play absolutely all types of audio/video files.

Edit: No, Winamp will not currently work with any Real audio/video files.

539027 2007-04-08 16:08:00 I agree with all that has been said. However I was getting popup messages in vista saying the media player classic has compatibility issues. It still worked but the screen quality wasn't great.

After a bit of searching I found Gom player. Plays rm files perfectly and allows you to adjust the contrast, brightness etc. Also comes with a graphic equalizer.

If you install the quicktime alternative it will also play QT and Mov files as well. (QuickTime player is another player I dislike)

Its also free...

539028 2007-04-08 20:58:00 just a 2nd that for GOM player... although I don't use Vista.

I've had a GOM a few months and so far it will play anything I throw at it.

539029 2007-04-08 22:07:00 Go get Real Player Alternative (www.free-codecs.com) To play real media files with the provided Media Player.

Otherwise try getting Mediacoder (http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/) This will allow you to convert RM files to another format like MP3, Avi etc

Mediacoders graphical interface takes some getting used to though. It's quite messy.

539031 2007-04-09 06:16:00 Real Alternative is good, it will play your .rm files using media player classic. radium (8645)
