^^ WTH am talking about Linux and its open Source forum

 

[purujitb]

real player work in linux too

VLC doesn't play Real Media format. AFAIK only the RealPlayer (Check UbuntuGuide to install it) and XINE can play it fairly decently.

And older versions of .rm will not work on Linux at all. You need an old MPC + Codec pack to make it work.

^^^ Please elaborate it please with installation steps

thats why i have all linux audio & video players on my comp & still they consume very less space.
you name it & I have it.

Canonical Repositories have RealPlayer 7 in them. That should work good enough. (Canonical Repositories are enabled if you have Opera installed already, else just uncomment them in sources.list)

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install realplayer
