It is not reliable and is not trusted by many computer users, that is why most informed users uninstall it as soon as possible. There is absolutely no need for it and the BBC should dispense with it forthwith Real Player contains spyware and adware.

Here's the Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Player_Alternative You can also use it with AVISYNTH to convert your videos out of that RM format into something more standard. Sorry RealPlayer, but when you choked your player with adware/spyware/nagware you signed your own notice of dissolution. Recommend RealAlternative as albirt said. Here’s the Wiki.

I could do with something effective to use. As I myself am not quite as well informed as some people here. Paste a copy of that email if you’d be so kind. I could do with something effective to use.

I was just sent to a site to view a video that I need to see; and, of course, it is only available in RealPlayer. So I have begun a new practice. I have composed an Email that I will send to each company/website that I encounter that only offers media content in RealPlayer format explaining to them that due to RealPlayer's questionable License Agreement, marketing practices, and an application that incorporates "Spyware," I will not be returning to their website until all of their media content is available in a format viewable in either QuickTime or Windows Media Player as well. I suggest all of you start to do the same. I too refuse to load RealPlayer on to any computer that I am responsible for (Approx. 70).

So whatever adware/spyware and other problems the player has it will still have. Whether or not the BBC had their own version of real player, it doesn't anymore.

It just keeps loading itself in at irregular intervals. I sure as hell don't need a player to tell the company everything I listen to, or force itself on my system when I don't need it.
