I'm trying to view a live streaming video and the response is that I need the following "audio/x-pn-realaudio plug in".  Can I use Quicktime 7.5.5 for this and how.
Thanks

Umm, I don't think so, but there are a lot of 3rd-party codecs for QuickTime. Is there a reason you don't wish to use the free RealPlayer for this streaming video?  http://www.real.com/player/, and look for the blue "Get RealPlayer11-FREE" button in the upper-right.

Thanks Ben, just thought I could get it with Quicktime. Have downloaded RealPlayer and every works fine.....Maron

Yeah I know what you mean. With the free version of the Flip4Mac component for QuickTime, I no longer need the separate Windows Media Player application in order to view streaming .wmv files. But I don't think there's an equivalent QuickTime add-on component for streaming RealPlayer files yet.  Of course if it's a downloaded video file rather than a streaming video feed, then the free VLC has been able to read everything I've thrown at it so far.
