does anyone else dislike realplayer

ricky williams · 08-21-2005, 08:04 PM

i thought i would never get realplayer again but for some reason todays preess conferce w/ saban on insider was in realplayer format. not only do you get a whole bunch of junk you don't want when u download but i keep getting these annoying connection interrupted messages while watching and have to start over again. just use quicktime or anything but realplayer. what are the advantages to using that piece of crap.

I have Real Player, Windows Media and Quicktime.

1. Windows Media - The best
2. Quicktime - A very close second.
3. Real Player - It is ok, but not great

I hate all the big media players to be honest. I use winamp for everything I can.

If you hate RealPlayer but need it for things like the press conferences, I recommend installing Real Alternative.

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...lternative.htm

Basically, it'll handle the RealPlayer stuff, but without all the bloatware and crap. There's also Quicktime Alternative.
