It is very common in the midst of their navigations you have encountered any multimedia file, such as RMVB, which required the RealPlayer was installed to run. Well, this player was born to spread its format, but over the years has been opening its range of options and allowing new formats were being added to his repertoire.
However, for the Linux platform there are still problems with regard to popular formats such as. And MOV. WMV. We can say that RealPlayer10 was virtually abandoned in the operating system, mainly because there are no more updates on the official site. The main reason this happened was the fact that the Linux version of RealPlayer is based on another player, called Helix, which also is no longer being updated.
The RMVB Format
The RMVB Format
RMVB is the acronym for RealMedia Variable Bitrate, an extension of multimedia files with variable bit rate. On average, each file to RMVB is half the size of that of a video in DivX / XviD, but with similar quality. This format comes from the original RM (RealMedia) and its technology is capable of varying the data rate in relation to the complexity of the image disposed in each frame.
The main factor that draws attention to the file RMVB is your compression ratio. With this new format, it is possible that the entire film of two hours duration is stored at less than 300 MB, with acceptable quality.
Procedures for installation:

Procedures for installation:
Users of the distribution Ubuntu, Debian or other variations that have the package GDebi can download the DEB package, which features automatic installation. Click here to download the package. If your distribution supports RPM packages, you can download the RPM
Users of other distributions should follow the procedure below:
The first step is to download the executable file. Then, enable the option to execute the file, with the following command:
$ chmod u+x RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
After the above step, run the following command to start the installation:
$ sudo ./RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
Now, the program will display a warning that the installation is started. Press Enter to continue.
At this point the installation will be asked the full path where RealPlayer is installed. We recommend that the default directory for executable system is chosen. In most Linux distributions is the following location: /usr/bin/.
The next step is to confirm your selections so far. Type "F" to confirm and continue the installation, or "P" to go one step back.
Now, the installer will ask if you can create a symbolic link. Enter "Y" to confirm and then immediately press the Enter key.
Soon after the execution of the steps described above, RealPlayer10 be successfully installed in the system!
our opinion:
Above you read a full description about RealPlayer and functionality, now read what we think about the it.
Any user who seeks a truly complete player on the Linux platform, find another like Mplayer and Totem. RealPlayer is undeniably a household name in the current market players on the Windows platform. But his version of Linux does not contain several interesting features that are present for the operating system Bill Gates.
Therefore, the RealPlayer is recommended for users who want to play RMVB files, but without many features. If you want a more complete player, there are packages that allow RMVB format to play in Mplayer, so a good alternative.
