Your feelings?

PTSD.

Feelings buffering

Did anyone ever use this?

RIP ;_;7

.ra files were a thing before MP3 became mainstream.

When was this? The first Player I remember was Winamp

BUFFERING

Ahh the days of streaming and watching videos in 64p.
Also watched my first porn videos on this thing.
This thing's compression really was a godsend then.

Mostly this

The first ever digitally pirated anime I watched had to be watched through this thing. [spoiler]I still have it.[/spoiler]

>Ads in UI

Always used it in minimized mode

I feel sorry for you, man
I really do

Like 1995-1999.
ra files streamed better and was less resource taxing then MP3. By the time that the P2/P3 was hitting mainstream and people were largely away from 486s and P1s, media started to make the jump to MP3, since it was the better format.
I remember streaming shit on real player over dial up. Looking back on it it was so god damn noisy. Fuck'n 22kbs encodes.

Sure takes me back.

It fucking sucked but that time period of the internet was great.

I loved it, mainly the early versions. It was the only tool you could use to reliably stream videos, therefore it was the best of its time.

I feel like you're a retarded faggot.

when i first got my computer in the late 90s, i did. i thought it was the coolest thing ever
it came with shit quality south park clips

Winamp > Windows Media Player > Real Player

How good was the codec actually?

Wasn't bad I guess, I recall it being rather block blurry, which was more due to the fact that we all had shit connections.

Pretty surprised that they are still around and the program too.

Even though the player is bloated and even then annoyed me with its autostarts and constant update processes that somehow makes me happy...

I too still have some rm/ra files but now VLC does the job of course

Literally the worst video player in history. Yet somehow the company held on for what, 10+ years? Maybe 20? Profitable too. I tried to use it as little as possible making it three or four uses total for me. If I had to use it, I'd install it, then uninstall it right after. It was that bad. It would rape your computer the entire time it was on your hard drive. It was worse than Quicktime if you can believe it.

My old neighbor still used it till last year. Then I just introduced him to vlc.
