This sort of behavior doesn't suprise me at all coming from Real.
This coming from a company that:
A) Hides it's 'free' player as much as possible and offers a 'free trial' of it's pay for player, effectively taking advantage of uninformed users and even confuses savvy ones.
B) Ignores user file association settings and takes over the playing of all media on your machine. It's also a real pain to get rid of.
C) Loads tons of unnecessary features and eats RAM for lunch, has overall poor compression quality and constantly barrages users with unwanted paid content and advertising as well as dock pop ups for PC users.
D) Is the most successfull maleware/spyware vendor on the planet.
Insane, it drops most of the frames when playing the huge version on windows media player. I have a 1 GHz G4 powerbook... I find it insane that it can't even play it properly.. that is just insulting! And it doesn't seem to want to play correctly on MPlayer or VLC...
Anybody have a suggestion as to why? I get 1 FPS.. 1!!!!!
