[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:

[Huma*]

:sl:

Yes.

[yasin ibn Ahmad]

I only use its download feature.You can download anything you wiev on the net

[The Ruler]

Yes, I do. It plays files with .flv format, which is rather helpful when downloading youtube videos. I'm too lazy to convert.

I never used real player to begin with, I used windows media player.
Now I use neither, I use media player classic, love it.

[Silver]

No, I don't use it. I prefer WMP.
Sometimes I use quicktime player.

[Cabdullahi]

winamp?....vlc player....? real player is one of the best media players out there!

[Güven]

WMP and realplayer all the way !

[The Ruler]

^ I haven't used Real player in years, so don't know if it's changed, but when I did have it, I found it clunky and resource-hungry. Vlc on the other hand is simple, compact and plays a large majority of the video/audio formats you can find.

Is vlc the one with the hat-like icon? I can't use that one because it looks ugly on my desktop.

[The Ruler]

It looks more like a traffic cone to me.

Well, yeah, but it's horrible nonetheless.

[islamlover_girl]

yes ,I still use it.
why not? it`s not bad .all programs r the same nearly I use any of them

[alcurad]

real player, then if it doesn't play try vlc.
real player is not outdated at all, i thought so until i started reusing it-like last week:)- and it's not half bad.

[convert]

real player is garbage. i use vlc.

[BintAbee]

:sl:

I use it for things that don't play in wmp, but i still prefer wmp

[Soulja Girl]

:sl:

Real Player iz good stuff! :) Use it all teh tiime.

:w:

[Danah]

currently No

I used it in the past to use the feature of downloading youtue videos but I got sick from downloading them as flv
now I dont use it anymore, and I download youtube videos by one click on a button on my bookmark bar :D

I use 4 other players but my fav player is media classic player....I can do a lot with it

[The Ruler]

You can't play .rmvb or .rv files in VLC player, can you?

[The Ruler]

^Yup, I just tried. The sound comes out broken and there's no image. Tch. VLC allows ScreenCap easily. I thought it wasn't so bad until I realised 91% of my files are .rmvb and VLC doesn't play them.

[Kas1m]

The last time i tried to install real player. It failed. But jet audio is awesome. Brilliant player

[The Ruler]

Try Real alternative for them, if you're trying to escape realplayer.

It's not that I'm trying to escape real player... I'm just trying to find a player that allows me to Screencap easily. So far BSPlayer and VLC are the only ones that do so. With the former, rmvb and rv files can be played but there's not sound nor can I screencap.

[Yanal]

I think it's out of date but for Itouch I use it.

[The Ruler]

What do you mean by screencap? Capture a scene for a few seconds/minutes, or just capture a screen shot?

Capture a screen shot. I know you can prt sc it then paste it on paint... But that's a lengthy process.

[Yanal]

Ask sister Charisma or zAk because they have posted a numerous amount if screen shots the proper instructions and questions you have.

[The Ruler]

^They weren't screen shooting a video =_=

[Yanal]

Oh a video.... Nevermind then.

I only use WMP. Occasionally I accidentally open Real Player when I download a .rm file... I hate Real Player only cuz it takes up too much resources. imsad I just realized the only reason we used to download .rm files long back was cuz we had dial up, and .rm files are tiny so they are quickk to download. lol.

The Ruler, you should be able to take a screen shot with WMP.

• Open Window Media Player
• Then go to Tools > Options > Select the "Perfomance" tab.
• At the bottom of that window click the "Advanced" button.
• Uncheck “Use Overlays’ and click ok.

Hope that works inshaAllah. That's how I did it when I took some screenshots.

[Yanal]

Your making a screenshot video for the thread LI screenies?

Thanks, but because rm files are tiny, there are more of those than there are of wmp.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

most people use real alternative now.

Does it allow a viewer to screencap easily?

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Does it allow a viewer to screencap easily?

is that to me?

if so -


wat?

[The Ruler]

wat?

Taking screen shots whilst the video is playing, does the Real Alternative allow that?

[IbnAbdulHakim]

not sure sis didnt try it.


you can always printscreen tho..


Assalamu Alaikum

[The Ruler]

^Yah, but that takes ages.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^Yah, but that takes ages.

it does?

1. press print screen

2. open up ms paint

3. press cntrl+v aaaand done...

2 seconds max

[The Ruler]

The screencap I'm talking about would be several frames in a few seconds. Unless I pause and go through that procedure again and again, I won't be able to do what I want to do. And doing that would ruin the video I'd be watching.
