Play Realplayer media with Roxio Cineplayer

**beefers1** · 04-24-2008, 09:49 PM

Is there any plugin or codec that'll allow me to do that? I had the free version of Nero, but have upgraded to Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 (with Cineplayer), and don't want to use multiple media players for different formats. If it's not possible, then is there another player that can absolutely play any video format "under the sun"? Things I don't want: Realplayer, Winamp, Windows Media Player, Nero Showtime.

I use Media Player Classic, which comes as part of the KLite Codec Pack. It's not as pretty as some of the other media players - no skins or themes, just a basic layout, but it's very powerful and does the job of playing media files perfectly without any fuss.

It can play DVDs, MP3s, Real, QuickTime, AVI, MOV, in fact 99.9% of all media files as long as you have the codecs installed. You can alter the size and shape of the screen in small increments, accurately frame advance/rewind, view subtitles, use filters to improve the image quality, etc. Highly recommended if you don't mind the old-fashioned interface.

Media Player Classic FTW.

I really don't care about interface; in fact, my desktop is blank, with only the bare minimum of icons. But is it completely free, or is there a paid option?

Completely free and fully functional.

ok, thank you very much. so there're no plugins that you know of that can play those aforementioned formats on Cineplayer?

They have plugins for decoding DVDs and creating MP3s, but I can't see anything for playing Real media files.
