| I think about 99% of us here aren't even the least bit interested in Real Media support. After it comes out we may have a few who'll buy it and maybe someone then will review it. Windows Media support, which this player does not have, would have been a lot more practical than RM support.
The reality is that you are probably one of the very few people for whom RM support is a big deal. | ||

| jman98, you are probably right. RMVB is never popular in the US or Europe but I think they are very popular in Asia. I need this unit because there are some anime and Asian drama are in RMVB format. | ||

| There are quite a few Asian PMP's that also support RMVB. Real Media is a popular format for anime. My bother-in-law in an anime freak and has just under 2 TBs of anime in an MKV container with Real Video and Ogg audio.
I personally find Real codecs to be much better than WMV, and have actually always like Real. Perhaps because I've been using it for over a decade now :shock: But for streaming content, flash is the most prolific choice today. Adding RMVB support to a player most likely won't gain an increase in sales. Perhaps Real has something up their sleeves. If I remember correctly they attempted to release DVD copying software. Now if only Nero could gain support for their format in a stand alone player. Nero has a better consumer image than Real. Adding the Nero logo to a STB should increase sales beyond that of a Real Video logo. Plus, if it plays Nero Digital, it will play generic mpeg4-avc content as well. If it plays RMVB, well it plays RMVB ;) | ||

Probably closer to 99.999999% I think that the big problem is that it never got a foothold in web streaming, though an attempt was made in the late 90's. I remember it being very popular with the warez crowd for television episodes. Divx and its ilk turned it into the Mac of the encoder world. | ||

| Yes, i agree RMVB is not a deal breaker, but it's nice if there is a playe can player it :roll:
and the answer is yes, there EP6000P, it plays VOB, MKV, m2ts, Ripped blue ray, AVI, DIVX, XVID files... directly via interenal hdd or usb drive (DVD-rom included) and it streams RMBV and the above files. I heard a rumor that newegg will have it soon | ||

| It is $79 pre order. I ordered one . It has a USB port. I hope it is compatible with my 1TB external hard drive.

| Hows it working out? And what have you made it play so far? My bother-in-law has a birthday coming up, may have to get it for him if the RVMB support is decent. | ||

| Mostly rmvb files burning from DVD+R disks. The player works real well. | ||

| What's up w/ all the hatin? I for one am very interested in kind of system. I have a ton of Asian RMVB files from TV shows and this player will save me countless hours converting shows to divx for family members. I ordered one from eBay today for $75. hope it works. |
