RealOne Player for Mac OS X
JakiChan writes "Finally Mac OS X users can view stunning RealAudio and RealVideo streams. OmniWeb doesn't seem to like it, but IE and Moz appear to play embedded streams just fine." Be careful, it's a beta.

I completely agree.
I don't use real. Ever. I'm trying to remember the last time I had to use it - DivX:)/Mpeg4 is just as small, and looks much better. Most movie trailers are done as Quicktime. I think the last time I *had* to use the Real format was to view the Kingdom Hearts trailer (stupid Squaresoft).
Real is just too annoying, between the "if you don't click the 50 billion options you'll be bugged every time you blink - oh, and we'll forget them later and take control of every friggin' media type on your computer! Thanks!", and the crappy video quality.

oh, and while its Beta, i haven't had any crashes or other such things one associates with 'Beta'... it is a pretty quick and snappy app. Please TRY things before you just start go bashing them.
Yes, Real took WAY too long to release this, but hey, its out now, do download it and try it out!
