And it's perfect for playing and sharing video with your friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter. Since version 11, RealPlayer also includes Flash Video support, DVD, SVCD, VCD burning and video recording (DRM is supported).

It plays RealAudio, RealVideo, MP3, 3GPP Video, Flash, SMIL 2.0, JPEG, GIF, PNG, RealPix, RealText, Ogg Vorbis, and Ogg Theora. You will also notice that RealPlayer adds itself to the startup folder so that it is automatically started with the operating system.RealPlayer plays streaming audio and video over the Internet in real-time. The main process realplay.exe that uses roughly 40 Megabytes in idle mode, RealNetworks Scheduler realsched.exe with uses less than 500K, and recordingmanager.exe which is the RealDownloader process. Three processes are automatically started when you run the program. This is obviously a serious limitation that makes the player unusable for users who want to playback those formats on their system. RealPlayer 16 free does not support these formats, and if you want to play them in the program, you will have to upgrade to the plus version before you can do so. For starters, the attempt to play H.264 videos, or mkv, divx or webm files, will display an upgrade screen.

When you try to use the player to its fullest extent though, you will soon find out that you can't do so without upgrading to RealPlayer Plus. The Private Mode for instance enables you to protect certain kinds of videos from prying eyes, and the Facebook Video integration makes sure you can access videos uploaded to Facebook directly in the player. There are a couple of other features that RealPlayer 16 introduces that users may like.
