Preview the latest version of the RealPlayer media player

June 27, 2007 in Media players | Permalink

Screengrab_2 There are plenty of media players on the market, from the Windows Media Player through to RealPlayer, that's been around for ages and supports both its own format as well as many additional media formats, for playing back audio and video content. It's generally a cross-platform media player, although this beta of the latest version is a Windows-only preview.

RealPlayer 11 beta is a preview of the forthcoming major update to the media player. This version will enable you to download video content for playback on your PC, along with other updated features, such as an improved user interface. There is little other information on the RealPlayer website. Some of the features are also only available in the Plus edition, which costs £19.99, probably as the codecs you require to burn video to DVD cannot be given away with the free version.
