I use RealPlayer 8 on my Win ME machine, as it is less resource-hungry than RealOne Player or RealPlayer 10, but have discovered that it can't play some of the Dr Who video clips on the BBC website.

I investigated this, and found that it's NOT necessary to upgrade to RealPlayer 10.

RealPlayer 8 can be modified to play all BBC video clips by adding the following three files obtained from the free version of RealPlayer 10 - namely drvc.dll and rv40.dll (copy them to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Codecs) and rvrender.dll (copy it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Plugins)

These three files do not exist in RealPlayer 8, but with them added it will happily play the problem video files, which include these:

I had no problem playing the following streaming files, using the standard (unmodified) installation of RealPlayer 8:
