I love it. No need to worry about Real sending your "info" back to them. Not to mention, it plays some other formats too. The ony downside I see is when you have to view a .rm, etc. in a browser window (plug-in) like on sites such as Ifilm.com

Real Alternative corrupted
Feb 10, 2010 11:43AM PST

I tried downloading and installing Real Alternative three times. Each time when I am ready to install, I get the message that the Set up file is corrupted and try to download a new file. I delete and empty the recycle bin of the corrupted file but three times now, I have another corrupted download. I have Windows 7,32 bit. so I don't know if that is the problem. My laptop is a new Toshiba L505D-S992. The processer isVision AMD. RAM 3.00, AMD Turion IIDual Core Mobile M500 2.20GHz and 288GB hard drive. msbaldwin43@aol.com
