RealNetworks推出了新的RealPlayer 11測(cè)試版本。支持播放在各種在線媒體視頻，包括Flash, FLV格式或者M(jìn)OV格式等等，并且在播放過(guò)程中能夠錄制視頻。同時(shí)還加入了在線視頻的一鍵下載功能到瀏覽器中，支持IE和Firefox，這樣便能夠下載YouTube, MSN，Google Video等等在線視頻到本地硬盤來(lái)離線觀看。而且還加入了DVD/VCD視頻刻錄的功能。另外官方聲明中便指出RealPlayer 11將對(duì)Windows Vista支持不佳，會(huì)影響Aero效果等等。
新版的播放界面為黑色，菜單欄顯示效果不佳。在瀏覽媒體庫(kù)，在線音樂(lè)商店，SuperPass(交費(fèi)用戶可以申請(qǐng)的包月媒體資源)等等的同時(shí)，會(huì)在播放器的右下角顯示正在播放的視頻縮略圖，同時(shí)可以方便的調(diào)節(jié)媒體播放速度，很是方便。不過(guò)在播放視頻時(shí)，除了全屏，否則無(wú)法隱藏菜單和控制欄等等。
瀏覽器在播放在線媒體視頻的時(shí)候，鼠標(biāo)浮向視頻后會(huì)在其頂部出現(xiàn)Download This Video的按鈕，能夠一鍵快速保存視頻到本地硬盤，或者選擇下拉菜單進(jìn)行控制。同時(shí)RealPlayer還設(shè)有下載和刻錄管理器來(lái)方便用戶管理。不過(guò)下載后的視頻竟然沒(méi)有自動(dòng)添加到媒體庫(kù)中，估計(jì)還是配合Vista的問(wèn)題。
最令我不解的是它的資源使用控制做得極好，如上圖所示，在播放同樣的RMVB視頻時(shí)，KMPlayer播放器CPU占用高達(dá)40%，而RealPlayer僅為11%。雖然內(nèi)存占用比較多，但當(dāng)今大內(nèi)存的電腦根本不在乎那10幾M了。不過(guò)在安裝它后，我的聲卡控制被莫名改變，導(dǎo)致KMPlayer在播放時(shí)沒(méi)有聲音。
總體上講新版本的RealPlayer結(jié)合了在線視頻的錄制和下載功能，已經(jīng)緊跟了時(shí)代，同時(shí)良好的資源占用控制也體現(xiàn)了本身專業(yè)的性能。
期待改進(jìn)的便是界面的臃腫和無(wú)法減化播放顯示界面等等細(xì)節(jié)，但這種期望根本是幻想，因?yàn)镽ealPlayer和Windows Media Player, iTunes等等一樣，打造的是一個(gè)集成媒體資源管理和播放功能于一身的播放器。
