Full Review of Real Player 11
After Real Networks announced Real Player 11, many real player users download and try it. Reference to the media player’s new flagship feature: one-click downloading and saving of online video.
While it will be hard for RealPlayer to shake off its poor reputation, there’s much to like about version 11. The new interface and jukebox functionality has been appropriately borrowed from iTunes, and the ability to download and save videos from the web, not only works well, but should prove popular with users who want to build their own personal video collection. Having said that, it seems a bit old-hat to only give the option to burn media to a CD or DVD and not covert it for transfer to a portable media player such as an iPod. (Update: Real’s Matt Spragins left a comment telling us that this feature will be present in the final release.)

one word. proprietary. if i understand correctly ,it appears to store video files in a (.ivr) format making them unplayable on other media players like Windows MediaPlayer and WinAMP.
so once more whilst claiming to provide consumers with what we want that freedom is circumscribed. that is, what this product is really about is control of distribution. i think i will pass.
