Real Player for OSX

Knowing real, they will probably try to punish us because Apple is a major competitor with Quicktime. Hell they probably only have 2 engineers working on Real Player X!!
I don't even think about using real player... Pretty much all the content I care to see is available via either QuickTime or wmp. Most content has at least one format available (like real and wmp or real and QuickTime, or a combination of those three).
Hell, I got a free dvd one time because I couldn't get real player to work on my TiBook (rev A) under either OS 9 or OS X. The site that was streaming the content I wanted to watch (a piece of anime) sent the dvd to anyone that reported having the issue.

real player OSX
It's just that sites like cdnow, and MTV use real player for there sound and video samples. Cdnow also uses MS Media player for there sound samples but when I click on those samples it triggers a classic environment startup instead of using MS Media player for OSX that I have installed. I don't like real player personally but it seems to be one of my only options at this point.

realone same as real player?
So is RealOne the same as Real Player? Because if it is, then all of us that have no choice but to use real player to access certain sites we like, we're screwed for a long time. Hopefully Real Player is different and will be out. I could give a rat's ass about RealOne. Just give me the damn player is os x and call it a day.

RealPlayer is the worst
Just about the worst windoze port ever made... next to the Flash player. They made the absolute minimum amount of code changes just to get it working on Macs. For instance it quits when you close the window, just like on a windoze machine.

Re: realone same as real player?
its just a cheap rip off of wmp7/8 for windows since most of the new features introduced in RealOne Player for windows was introduced in WMP 7/8 for windows...its SLOW and buggy as hell, takes a few min to load up, if you close it, it takes a while to load and i usually have to use the task manager to close it, and it was even worse for win 98....

Apple should take on Real Player by as some ppl were saying, add .rm and all realplayer extensions to be compatible with quicktime, so osx users dont have to worry bout dling realplayer
RealOne is alot like Real Player 8, but RealOne has a major GUI change, it has more features included to "try" to please pc users (n it didnt work) by adding integrated cd burning, playing cds, etc...

A couple of points to make...
For a start, there'd kind of be a legal issue with allowing qt to play propriotary format files (such as rm) with no permission with real. Secondly, Apple and MS aren't teaming up to crush real... from what i've heard, apple's got some sort of deal with real... And if those MPEGLA ppl weren't so f***ing greedy, we wouldn't even be discussing this issue -- I don't think we should support the wide use of .mov files any more than we should of .asf or .rm files. They're all propriatary and they all suck ass. Sure, I prefer QT, but you can't play .mov files in any other player apart from QT...
