RealPlayer 16 adds toolbar bookmarks, video mode

Real Networks Inc. published 16 RealPlayer, the latest edition of its unique media player.

And the addition of wholesale this time is the RealDownloader redrawn, and in particular the new video bookmarking system.

The idea is simple. If you're watching a movie and be aware that you will not have time to see it all, hover your mouse on the playback area, click on the link "Bookmark this video" when it appears.

Everything that you add in this way and then appears in a "Web Vidéos" section in the left pane (as well as Facebook videos introduced in the latest version), as part of your library, and you can return later for them with a single click. That works for us, even though it's a shame that marked a bookmark videos do not appear to be visible in a search the library regularly.

And the other news in this version is that toolbar Mode is now available in the free reader. So if you're tired of all chrome and more minimum reading experience, click View > toolbar Mode (or press F8). The player will shrink to size, then your reading and other essential controls are reduced to a toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

During this time, RealPlayer Plus 16 has been extended with a vacuum cleaner, a tool to help eliminate duplicate songs, find album art and general cleaning of your library. And the PlayPack extends the capabilities of the program by adding support for many types of files and codecs (MPEG-4, H.264, VP8 and DivX5, as well as the MKV, AVI, Xvid, WebM and DivX, Xvid, DivX4).

16-RealPlayer is likely to win new converts, then, but enthusiasts will find much to appreciate, and downloads are now available for Windows XP-8.
