Playing Real Media files with KMPlayer on Windows 7 64bit

This entry was posted in Sys admin on by .

Traditionally I needed real player 10 to get it to work.  But that is too old to be installed on windows 7 64bit.  Thus, I had to install real alternative and k-lite and stuff.

Per k-lite (http://www.codecguide.com/faq_playback_issues.htm#item32):

You are missing a decoder for RealAudio COOK. You can install that by following these steps:

  1. Download the Windows version of binary codec pack for MPlayer.
    http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html#binary_codec
    (filename = windows-essential-20071007.zip)
  2. Extract only these files from the ZIP archive:
    cook.dll, pncrt.dll, sipr3260.dll, drv33260.dll, drv43260.dll
  3. Put those files in the Windows system folder.
    That is C:WindowsSystem32 on a 32-bit version of Windows.
    That is C:WindowsSysWOW64 on a 64-bit version of Windows.

After that, I can view rmvb files with the kmplayer
