... unfortunately, they are in RealMedia format and will therefore be playable only on RealPlayer.
Not if you use
Media Player Classic, which is included in "
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack."
It plays
RealPlayer files as well as
QuickTime ones, and all the
Windows files (mpg, wmv, asf, avi, etc. etc.)
Also, it's very flexible. For example, if the image you're watching is narrower than real life (as it is with some of those BBAus Jamie clips, like "Jamie_Close_up.wmv" ) you can widen the image by pressing "6" on the number keypad. If the image is too wide, press 4.
If the image has a huge black border (as with some DVD rips), you can zoom in by pressing "9" and expand the picture to fill the window, without increasing the size of the viewer window. To zoom out, press 1.
You can pause/unpause by clicking on the image.
You can also advance one frame at a time, in any medium, by clicking on the control to the left of the volume icon (it sort of looks like this: |>)
There is a lot more I could say about it, but that would take weeks.
Just google "k-lite mega codec pack" in quotes. You'll get lots of sites; pick one.
They keep adding codecs to it as new ones are invented, so you will want to bookmark your favorite download site and check every couple months for updates.
It's FREEWARE, btw!
