Real Alternative allows your system to play Real Media files (.ra .ram) without having to install the full version of RealPlayer. You do need a player that is capable of playing RealMedia. The included Media Player Classic supports it and works very well. Supported: RealAudio (.ra .rpm), RealMedia (.rm .ram .rmvb .rpx .smi .smil), RealText (.rt), ReadPix (.rp), RealMedia embedded in webpages. .smi and .smil files sometimes only play the first part of a clip. This is a limitation of the current Media Player Classic. The RealMedia Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla.

The latest version contains:
* Media Player Classic - a freeware media player that supports both Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative.
* RealMedia Codecs
* RealMedia plugin for Internet Explorer
* RealMedia plugin for Opera/Mozilla/Netscape
* RealMedia DirectShow splitter
