As I know WMP and RP play such file formats as:

Windows Media Player - WMA (Napster, MusicMatch, Yahoo Music, AOL, MSN, Bearshare, Rhapsody), OMA (Sony Connect), OMG, ATRAC, AA (Audible), WAV, OGG, MP3

Real Player - RAX, RA (RHAPSODY)

But I didn`t try real player(11) videos in windows media player

Keep in mind that Real and Microsoft are COMPETITORS.

The history here is one of many shenanigans by both parties and never any cooperation that I found believable.

Don't count on cross company, border cooperation here.
