From the website for those that don't already know about these freeware programs: Real Alternative will allow you to play RealMedia files. This way you can play RealMedia files without having to install RealPlayer. You do need a player that is capable of playing RealMedia. The included Media Player Classic supports it and works very well. Supported: RealAudio (.ra .rpm), RealMedia (.rm .ram .rmvb .rpx .smi .smil), RealText (.rt), ReadPix (.rp), RealMedia embedded in webpages. .smi and .smil files sometimes only play the first part of a clip. This is a limitation of the current Media Player Classic. Embedded content doesn't work on all systems yet. The Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla.
QuickTime Alternative will allow you to play QuickTime files (.mov, .qt and other extensions) without having to install the official QuickTime Player.
