<para>
It is recommended to download and install <application>RealPlayer8</application>
or <application>RealONE</application>, because <application>MPlayer</application>
can use their libraries to decode files with RealVideo 2.0 - 4.0 video. The
<application>MPlayer</application> <filename>configure</filename> script should
detect the <application>RealPlayer</application> libraries in the standard
locations of a full installation. If it does not, tell <filename>configure</filename>
where to look with the <option>--with-reallibdir</option> option.
Download Real codecs from
<ulink url="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/">http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/</ulink>.
and extract them to the
<filename class="directory">/usr/local/lib/codecs</filename> directory.
If you want to store them in a different location, pass the
<option>--with-reallibdir</option> option to <command>configure</command>.

<para>
As a second chance you can download the codecs from
<ulink url="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/">http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/</ulink>.
After downloading the Real codecs package, extract it to the
<filename class="directory">/usr/local/lib/codecs</filename> directory, or you can
specify a unique path with the <option>--with-reallibdir</option> option.
On Mac OS X you must make sure <filename>pncrt.Shlb</filename> (including it's
resource fork!) is in the same directory as the Real codecs. Copy it using, for
example
<screen>ditto -rsrcFork "RealOne Player.app/Contents/MacOS/pncrt.Shlb" "RealOne Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Library/Codecs"</screen>
Not doing so, or forgetting to copy the resource fork, will result in errors
such as:
<screen>GetDiskFragment() failed with error -2804: &lt;&lt;Unknown disk fragment&gt;&gt;&lt;&lt;Unknown disk fragment&gt;&gt;&lt;pncrt.Shlb&gt;&lt;&gt;</screen>
