Getting Real Player 10

I was recently given some videos using the RV1.0 video codec which isn’t available for the Real Player 11 Beta on have running on my media mac. After doing some research I discovered that Real Player 10 has the codec. I went to download it from Real Player’s site, maybe there is a simple way to do this but I was forced to go through a series of forms the last of which required that I give real.com my credit card number. Thats where I draw the line, I’ll give up one of my email addresses, but never my credit card unless I’m actually making a purchase.

So I did a google search for Real Player 10 dmg and the first google result was a page on the subdomain forms.real.com:

This page has a list of mirrors that you can download a Mac version of Real Player 10 without giving up your personal information and credit card. The install runs without any registration. There is an option to sign-in at some point, but you can opt out.
