I disdain anything from Real, and probably won't even fetch a RM file
if I want to watch it - I'll complain about the format and forget about
it, or just forget about it. I'm a little more tolerant of WMVs, but I
prefer MPGs since they're not proprietary and you can play them in
whatever your player of choice is (I strongly prefer VLC on Mac and
Windows platforms, myself... I've never had codec troubles and it's
extremely unobtrusive with a good playlist feature)
Of course, being Apple's bitch, I have no trouble with the .mov format
and like QuickTime overall =)
