Media Player Classic rmvb compatibility issue in Windows 7 x64

Question

I get this error whenever i try to run an rmvb (RealMedia Variable Bitrate) file.

I've installed K-Lite Codec Pack, DirectX, and Shark codec. Is there a solution?

(When I press OK, another screen just like this one appears; pressing OK again shows a few more details in my language (nothing substantial or informative) and then the video starts very slowly and with no sound).

Answer 1

Install the Real Alternative codec. That should fix the problem:

You do need a player that is capable of playing RealMedia. The included Media Player Classic supports it and works very well. Supported: RealAudio (.ra .rpm), RealMedia (.rm .ram .rmvb .rpx .smi .smil), RealText (.rt), ReadPix (.rp), RealMedia embedded in webpages. .smi and .smil files sometimes only play the first part of a clip. This is a limitation of the current Media Player Classic. The RealMedia Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla.
