Notice: now DONOT download the codes from the project, because some codes has be accepted and some codes has be replaced by better codes.

in vlc 0.9.x, since the real demux ( real.c ) chanage the buffer struct, so realvideo can not work correctly. and, in linux, the realvideo can not init the codec correctly since a parameter is not ok. the new patch has fixed the error and submit.

and, i write a simple realvideo-how-to.txt in doc/, and submit ,too.

if you don't know where download the real's codec, i put the windows and linux codec dll here. :) please check downloads page.

Note: the patch for VLC has been accepted by VLC team, you can use git to get the developing branch ( 0.9.0 ) and compile it to support the feature.

VLC is a powerful open source media player, but it can not play Real's rm/rmvb video , but mplayer can. so it is important to support rm/rmvb . the project will use same way of Mplayer , which load real's dll to demux the media, and then VLC can play it.

The new patch, which put in download list, have sent to VLC-devel maillist, maybe it will become official feature in next version!
