Real Networks hasn't, according to other /. Yay Slashdot! Here's a new version! Oh, wait, it's actually the same as the old version. I can get (and in fact have gotten) RealPlayer 5.0, but that's all. ![]() Site searches prove futile with all the keywords I can think of, etc. I start digging through Real Networks' site, trying to find this package, it's nowhere to be found. So a couple weeks ago, I finally moved up to the late 1990s with an AMD K6-2 with more MHz than I really know what to do with. It's slightly better than nothing, I guess.Īt the time, I was still using a 486 as my main computer (save the jeers for someone who cares :) and I wasn't worried about it. So, several months ago, the old beta came out. If Apple can fix these things, they're in a position to bury Real and Microsoft, but not while they're screwing up on the little details. If I want to edit videos and save steams to my hard drive, pester me, but not for basic playback features! Ditch the nagware for the most basic functions. The airbrushed aluninum (sp) look is cool, but the UI needs a total overhawl.ģ. This is one of the few times (only time?) that Apple has made a user interface that totally sucks ass. More clients! Minimum they need a Linux client, and wouldn't hurt if they released a general Unix player and one for the BeOS.Ģ. As I see it, Apple needs to fix three things before Qucktime can fully take over the internet:ġ. Quicktime has the potential, as it already whoops ass on RealPlayer on the technical side, but falls short on the user side. #REMOVE REALPLAYER COULD UI DOWNLOAD#All the market needs is a better format and player, and Real's users will jump ship as soon as it takes them to download the other software. The quality of audio and video provided by Real is mediocre. *** Proven iconoclast, aspiring bohemian. It seems like Real just tried to get stuff working with the last version, and has activated optimizations (or something) with this version - just speculation. I'm curious about the results others have had.
