    in other words, using QT/Real Alternative would be faster and you would do less work :D

    this is what devinco asked
    and this was your response
    so is it legal to install the player but keep/reregister the needed codecs? or do both the codecs and player have to be installed?

    It's all your fault Tommy.
    You had to go and tell the truth!
    Just a simple lie and it would have all been done long ago. :D

    It's almost the same, but because it came from the source, it is legal?

    Just to make matters worse (or better...who knows anymore?), I just read this thread at doom9.org:
    RealPlayer 10.5, installation, performance, etc.
    The thread is old (2004) and long, but is relevant.
    RealPlayer Basic 10.5 (free) is the current version available from Real and the moderator appears to be involved with the development team.
    The gist of the thread is that this new RealPlayer is not evil like the old ones.
    I know I have avoided them like the plague because of past bad experiences with them. It seems the codecs work well with MPC also. It's worth a read for those interested in this topic.

    If we go on this way i will call this guy from 'Blind Justice'. Thats the name of the show in which Captain Kirk plays the attorney? :)

    I will lie as hell next time, if you send me some legal Cuban cigars.

    I think it would be legal.
    What they really care about is if the people distributing it or incorporating it are making any money with it. I think that's why there has been no legal action yet, no money in it. It would be even more pointless to go after end users who are just trying to play a video.
    I will try it out and report how it works out.
    Thanks for all the help guys! :)

    :D Okay, this guy I know says no problem...he also says he can sell me a very nice bridge in Brooklyn.

    P.S. Blind Justice is the show with a blind police detective. :thumbd:
    Boston Legal is the show with William Shatner (Captain Kirk) and David Spader. :thumb:
