Odd... And yes, Real player sucks. I use Windows Media Player all the way, whenever I can, but sometimes it just isn't supported. Rance-- Probably not worth it anyway. But you can skip the commercials, just click on one of the other films in the playlist, then after it goes there, click back to the film you want to watch. Gets you right around it neatly, no problem. Interesting thing, I've never had trouble with Real Player. Probably because I haven't updated it in three or four hundred years. Be sure to check out "Art of the Saber". I assume everyone here has already seen kromekat's work in "Star Wars: Revelations". =)
