Digital entertainment services company RealNetworks has announced that the new RealPlayer is now available for consumers to download for free. "Our goal with the new RealPlayer is to enable consumers to watch Internet video whenever and wherever they want," said Rob Glaser, chairman and CEO of RealNetworks. "By making it 'one-click' simple to download, we're changing they way people experience online video." After installing the new RealPlayer, a "Download this Video" button will briefly appear in the consumer's Web browser whenever playing a video. With a single-click the video will begin downloading in the background, allowing the user to view other videos, switch to another site or even close their browser. People can search thousands of sites across the Web for video content, regardless of format, directly from within the RealPlayer. During or after RealPlayer playback of a video clip users can click the new "Share Video Link" feature to email friends a link to the original location of the video. The new RealPlayer allows users to download and record multiple videos simultaneously. Users can browse to new Web pages or close their browser while a download is in process; the complete video will still be captured no matter when the downloading feature is activated. RealPlayer can capture online video in most formats including Flash, Windows Media, QuickTime and RealPlayer. It automatically recognizes and will not download video content protected by DRM (digital rights management) systems. It also gives users instant access to the popular types of video available on the Web through its "Best of the Web" collection presented from within the application under the Real Guide tab. Consumers have the option of burning videos to CD with the free version of the product, which can be played back in most DVD players. With RealPlayer Plus, available for $29.99, users can burn video to DVD. Future versions of RealPlayer will enable users to transfer their online video content to video iPods and other personal media devices. The company said that Mac compatible and foreign language versions of the new RealPlayer will be available later this year. Download RealPlayer here. |
