Okay, so I'm not much of a RealPlayer user but I've always seen Lucas use it and it seems really easy to use so I gave it a shot. Now its so easy to download videos off the internet, you can download them off YouTube, Facebook, etc. Just mouse over the video you want to download and a little tab will appear above the video saying Download This Video. Click on it and it'll be downloaded to your computer. Its as simple as that. :) Its also compatible with iPhone, Blackberry and gaming devices. I havent tried converting video formats but apparently its really easy to convert videos with RealPlayer as well. And of course its very nifty for burning DVDs and CDs.
