How can I watch a movie format in Real Media on my iMac? I tried Windows Media and that did not work on my iMac either.
I downloaded a software to convert the Windows Media, but there was no audio.
iMac, iOS 6.1.4, My Mac is OS X 10.7.5
Download VLC media player. The odds are it will work.
Ciao.
You need Real Player for Real Media movies, there is (or was) a Mac version, and it was free.

Real Media may be the only format that VLC does not work with 😟
Csound1, greetings; The odds just went bust! 😊

It's an odd format, never was supported well and is clearly vanishing now. There used to be a converter but I haven't seen it since Moses embarked on his trek.
Csound1, greetings; The few times I watch video, if Quicktime does not work, VLC is the fall back application and that rarely fails. I looked in my Applications Folder and I note I have RealPlayer.app but don't ask me when is the last time I had to use it. My memory banks are not that good. 😀

I use VLC, QuickTime is the fallback position.
I will try VLC. The one that didn't work because there was no sound was Flip4Mac -- when I looked it up the sound issue seemed a common problem.
Thanks for your response.
What did not work, ReaPlayer?
What is the extension of these files?
The files are wmv and also rm. So I quit trying to get the rm file to work. (The Flip4MAC did not give me sound for either one)
Tonight I downloaded VLC and tried to get it to convert the wmv file. It did, but the sound is not there. I can't figure out why it didn't convert the audio.
The file name is 5_27_2013_hi_vid.wmv
Flip4Mac should play the .wmv file just fine, make sure that you downloaded the latest version. (available here)
Since Flip4MAC didn't work, I uninstalled it. Any idea why the VLC didn't do the audio?
No, install Flip from the link I posted and try again.
I'm downloading it now -- thank you!
Well, I downloaded the free version from the link you sent. I did not upgrade for $. The wmv file plays, but without audio.
So I saw another option someone suggested, called iSkysoft Video Converter. I downloaded it. It converted the wmv movie and plays it on Quick Time, WITH AUDIO. However, this one is not free. But I guess to get sound, I have to pay something 😉
I'm glad you're out there and appreciate the help. I'm a fairly new Apple convert, so I need all the help I can get.
Thankful,

What movie format does iMac support?
