If would be nice to have built in support for real and quicktime media types, to have a light weight player, i hate realone and quicktime players.

realone needs now 64MB of ram if i'm not wrong.

[rant] If only Real One and QuickTime would let the user control their media experience I would use them. It is a shame because in the early days (Real Audio 1.0) it was good. Now I refuse to even have Real or QT installed on my computer. They can both go under for all I care, they alienated their customers a long tome ago. Quick time will not even let you watch you video full screen and Real is no better. Most Real video clips embedded a web page in the video clip so when you set it to full screen, you have a tiny video playing and the rest of the screen is filled with crap you don't want to see. MPEG 4 support is much better. Although I wish there were a good open alternative for video the way there is OGG for audio. [/rant]
