Reasons for doing so can be simple enough: you may think that VLC is not lightweight enough or, you may not like design & UI or at least, you might be looking for a different experience than that VLC offers - who doesn’t like a change! Each video is then reformated in the cloud by the RealPlayer service and formatted properly for the device requesting the video.Nevertheless, some of you might be looking for a few effective VLC alternatives as well. RealPlayer Cloud helps remedy this by supporting FLV, WMV, MKV, DIVX, XVID, MOV, AVI and MP4 video formats. However, the different manufacturers of the these devices save the videos in different formats, which might not be readable and compatible on other devices. In a press release, Rob Glaser, founder and interim CEO of RealNetworks, said of the service’s tremendous growth: “Clearly there is a real need and demand for RealPlayer Cloud, which is essentially Dropbox for videos.”Ī lot of video is captured on smartphones and tablets. Over the past five months, RealPlayer Cloud has more than 500,000 active users in the U.S. It will soon be available in Italian, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese. Currently the app is available in English, French, German and Spanish.
