Answer by Swati Dubey

To resolve the issue with playing an .m3u8 file in RealPlayer, you can try the following steps:

  1. Update RealPlayer: Make sure you have the latest version of RealPlayer installed. Older versions may not support newer file formats or require additional plugins that are not readily available.

  2. Install Necessary Codecs: The message you are seeing may indicate that you need additional codecs to play the file. Ensure that you have all necessary media codecs installed on your computer.

  3. Alternative Player: Consider using a different media player that supports .m3u8 files natively, such as VLC Media Player. VLC is a free and open-source player known for its wide compatibility with various media formats.

  4. Check Internet Connection: Since .m3u8 files are often used for streaming, ensure that your internet connection is stable and try playing the file again.

  5. Compatibility Issues: If you are using an outdated version of Windows, such as Windows 7, you may encounter compatibility issues with newer media files. Consider upgrading your operating system if possible.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue or find an alternative solution to play .m3u8 files.

I getting a message when i try to install Realplayer 10 for windows vista 64-bit says "RealPlayer cannot be installed on Windows XP 64-bit." appears on my Acer laptop. Give me to resolve this problem to install it?

To resolve the issue with installing RealPlayer 10 on Windows Vista 64-bit, it seems there might be a confusion in the installation process as the error message mentions Windows XP 64-bit. Here are a few steps to try and resolve this:

  1. Compatibility: Ensure that you're using the correct installer for Windows Vista 64-bit. It's possible the installer being used is incompatible with Vista.

  2. Run as Administrator: Right-click the installer file and select "Run as administrator" to ensure you have the necessary permissions.

  3. Compatibility Mode: If the above steps do not work, try running the installer in compatibility mode:

    • Right-click on the installer file.
    • Select 'Properties'.
    • Go to the 'Compatibility' tab.
    • Check the box for 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:', and select Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or 3) from the dropdown list.
    • Apply the changes and try running the installer again.
  4. Update Windows: Make sure that your Windows Vista is fully updated with the latest service packs and updates.

  5. Contact Support: If the problem persists, consider reaching out to RealPlayer support for more specific assistance related to their product.

Consider updating to a more recent version of RealPlayer that supports Windows Vista 64-bit, if available, or try an alternative media player that offers similar functionality and better support for newer operating systems.

How do I create a seamless video in Realplayer by joining several files together?

P
Answer by Pete Clapp

Unfortunately, RealPlayer doesn't allow you to merge videos together and I suggest you check Software Informer database for an alternative solution. You can try tools like Free Video Joiner, FormatFactory, or Kate's Video Joiner. All three of them are free of charge, easy to use and support all major video formats.

When I attempt to burn a video from my RealPlayer video library to a DVD after a few minutes the DVD is ejected and the following error message appears: 'End of file: error parsing AC3 audio stream'. How can I fix this error?

Stephen Prastman
Answer by Stephen Prastman

According to the error presented above, the RealPlayer is having a problem encoding your source files. In this case, it's recommended to replace the codecs in your computer. First uninstall everything you have about codecs, then download and install a new set of codecs from the application's page at Software Informer. Once the codecs have been installed, start a new burning process, but this time make sure to configure the settings for burning. Go to Settings and change the Audio to MP3, OFF or MP4.

I purchased Real player (order # 148408205) 24/01/09. £19.99. Since this date I have had the full graphic equaliser with my own presets taken off the program. (Basic 3 band equaliser now); lost the availability to play flash video files, and the option to download videos is erratic. Will this loss of functionality continue or can someone help me to get the program working as it did before. The free download was better than what I am left with now!

I think its not working with Firefox latest versions and chrome... Try with IE... If still it doesn't work
Try to do these things and see if it is of help.

  1. Uninstall Real Player.
  2. Restart the system.
  3. Download and extract Regseeker onto your desktop.
  4. Run it and select the option “Clean Registry.” Once it shows the unnecessary registry entries, select all and delete them.
  5. Restart the system.
  6. Now Reinstall.</li>

I can burn audio files, but I can't burn videos. It stops at the middle of the process. Can you help?

Murtuza
Answer by Murtuza

easy and simple way, just select all the videos that you can to burn into the CD, open my computer and then your CD-writer and drag them into Cd-Writer and click burn the files written on the upper left corner


or


you can use some specially designated softwares to burn such as

  • Nero
  • Ashampoo
    and many more

yes if you have them saved on your hard rive you can use any cd burinig program, but rmember blank cd's are only 80 minutes long, when you use the burinig program simply burn the cd as DATA not music, but rmember it may only play back on your pc and not on your dvd player do to format


real player format will burn onto a cd or dvd as a data file only
u need to convert it to a .divx or.wma for u to burn it on a dvd or cr to watch in a dvd player


the best program to burn is nero..


I think this helped... :D :D :D
