[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1296999"] These days I can't think of a good reason to download Real Player. Thanks to [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx"]Flip4Mac WMV Player[/URL] and [URL="http://perian.org"]Perian[/URL] you can use the Windows Media stream and it will work fine in most cases. If you want to install Real Player, I have the latest version installed and have no issues with it. I would advise you to go through MacUpdate to find the "free" version, as the Real website itself DELIBERATELY obscures the no-obligation free version in the hopes that you'll be suckered into the paid version. That's their business model, seriously. [/QUOTE]
