More often than not I have problems using Realplayer to play some streaming realmedia file. Often it cannot find the proper codecs or the codecs can't be installed (or else something else goes wrong). So I've stopped using Realplayer and started using Real Alternative (which works much better than the original). It would be great if this could be made into a portable app. It can be found at http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm
