    Well those are Real Player files so they should work in Real Player. Are you useing the latest Real Player for Mac? Check their FAQ and make sure they dont have any issues with the Intel Mac. Also, when you say no good, what exactly happens?

    If basically nothing happens then yeah there is a possibility that the file is courrupted. Do other real files work?

    Good to hear, thought it was a bit odd that it wasn't working when it should be.
