The Fourth Estate Has Spoken

By Matt Spragins, Director of Product, RealPlayer

We’ve had an opportunity to work with press and analysts over the last few weeks to let them see and experience the new RealPlayer and now they’re weighing-in on the new RealPlayer. Here’s a sampling of what they’re writing:

“The new RealPlayer is badass for one reason: It can rip net videos, even those on YouTube and from video streams, with a single click.” Brian Lam, “Real Network's Media Player Rips Youtube Vids and More – Gizmodo http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/one-click/real-networks-media-player-rips-youtube-vids-and-more-264940.php

 

“Imagine you want to have a permanent collection of Mentos videos from YouTube, or whatever other content category you find interesting…well, now you can do it.” 

Eric Savitz, “D: RealNetworks Unveils New Version of Real Player With Web Video Capture”
– Barron’s Online: Tech Trader Daily http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2007/05/31/d-realnetworks-unveils-new-version-of-real-player-with-web-video-capture/

"This essentially frees up the content so that it can go anywhere you want to consume it, which means more people will consume it," [James] McQuivey [Forrester analyst] said. "That is why media companies are going to line up behind this." 

Franklin Paul, “RealPlayer to let users save YouTube, other video “
– Reuters, 5/31/07) http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070531/wr_nm/realnetworks_realplayer_dc_1

“The huge news here is that Flash .flv files can be saved.”

Andy Plesser “Bombshell from RealNetworks: Rip/Save/Burn "All" Online Video Fomats with New Player...Clips from YouTube and Yahoo Are Easily Downloaded (Beet.TV, 5/31/07) http://www.beet.tv/2007/05/news_break_rips.html

“There are already existing third party utilities on the market that perform similar functions, but after our demo with the service, it seems safe to say that Real's is one of the smoothest around, boasting the bonus of being integrated with Real's already beefy media player.”
AppScout, "New RealPlayer Gets YouTube on the Download" http://www.appscout.com/2007/05/new_realplayer_gets_youtube_on.php

I think this will be welcome addition. There is so much confusion across so many different formats that it really frustrates consumers. Just as Adobe created and established the format for documents, I hope this becomes a standard so that we can all access, share and re-mix videos (with appropriate attributions of course) so that we are better able to consume multi-media content.. Bravo!
