This problem does not exist when using the DirectShow framework for playback of realMedia files. The play button does not work after having pressed the stop button when playing a RealMedia file in Media Player Classic: A: This is a 'bug' (or rather a limitation) in Media Player Classic when using the RealMedia framework for playback. It's definitely similar to VOX ADPCM or some variant thereof, but I've been trying to identify it. I'm dealing with an odd format here, and it seems similar to VOX ADPCM, 8000Hz, but it when played back as such, produces the most horrendous sound. Also see Multimedia file types that Windows Media Player supports for more information. By default, the Windows operating system and the Player include a number of the most popular codecs, such as Windows Media Audio, Windows Media Video, and MP3.
You can use it to play all kinds of video formats and files. UniConverter is a video player & converter for Mac, a great alternative to Microsoft Windows Media Player.
