  1. Real shifting towards a more reasonable player on RealNetworks Releases Helix Source · · Score: 2, Informative

    For years I avoided Real Player like the plague because of its highjacking of other formats, and then endless updates & "features" that are configured by default to connect back to Real.

    I just re-installed it and learned it can play dvd's, it is easier than ever to unsubscribe from all the Real updates, and they are releasing most of their code which should add some helpful updates in the future.

    I will give the functionality and the design of the new player a thumbs up, although it can't play all the formats yet.

    Add the trial version of intervideo windvd 2000, then uninstall it keeping all the shared files and your real player will play more dvd's with less hassle.
