	Cool. No more RealONE spyware (and, yes, even the new versions of Real products are spyware.) I tend to avoid using RM/RMVB but it's nice to have that capability when the need arises. I would not deal with RM/RMVB otherwise. Posted July 03, 2006 by CrayonEater.

	Love it. Work great with Media Player Classic. RealAudio streaming works well but I never did like the bloated installation. This solves the proglem. Posted January 15, 2006 by danzeb.

	I have given this tool a 10!!!!! Love it, no more Realplayer garbage hogging my system and registry etc. The included media player classic is great, also plays mpg2 dvd video without the need for codec addons. Great addon this for sure. Totally reccomended! Posted November 09, 2004 by peterbuilt.

	Great freeware codecs.Ideal if you want to watch Real Media on Windows Media Player without installing Real One Player. You dont have to install Windows Media Player Classic but rather use WMP9 Series or BS Player for example. Posted April 27, 2004 by laspis59.

	To add to the other posts - If you do not wish to use Media Player Classic, just install the codecs and open rm and rmvb files with your favourite media player instead. I now use BSPlayer for Real Video playback and it works great. Posted March 23, 2004 by aguillon.
