How to Transfer RealPlayer Videos to a New Computer

                                    RealPlayer offers a media player app for Windows 8.

                                      The RealPlayer media player can handle many video and audio file formats, including videos created in its own proprietary RealVideo format. When upgrading to a new computer, you can transfer your RealPlayer videos to the PC via removable media, such as an external hard drive or USB stick. You'll also need to install the desktop version of RealPlayer or the RealPlayer Express Windows application on the new computer in able to play the transferred video files.

Step 1

Plug the removable media into a free USB port on your old computer. If it's the first time you've used the drive, wait a few minutes for Windows to locate, download and install the drivers necessary to run the device. If prompted, click the "Format" button to format the drive. If the external hard drive prompts you to run specific installation software, click the "Yes" or "Install" button in the pop-up window.

Step 2

Double-click the "Computer" or "My Computer" icon on the Windows desktop screen, and then double-click the external drive's icon to open the device in a new window.

Step 3

Open the computer folder that contains the RealPlayer videos that you want to transfer. Highlight and select all of the video files that you want to include. RealPlayer video files use the following file extensions: RM, RMX, RMVB, RMD, RMJ and RMS. You can also include any MP4, MPEG or MPG video files that you want to play with RealPlayer.

Step 4

Drag and drop the selected files onto the open external drive window and wait for Windows to transfer them to the drive. Windows displays a progress bar in a new window during the transfer. When the transfer has finished, right-click "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" button in the taskbar on the Desktop screen and select the "Eject" option.

Step 5

Unplug the external drive from your old computer and then connect it to a free USB port on your new computer. Open the external hard drive in the "Computer" or "My Computer" window. Go to the computer folder in which you want to store the transferred video files, such as the "Videos" library folder. Drag the files from the external hard drive window to the open computer folder and wait for them to transfer.

Step 6

Go to the Real website, and then download and install the desktop version of RealPlayer onto your computer. You can choose the free version or a premium version. If you select the premium version, you'll need to enter your credit card or debit card details before downloading. Follow the next steps, if you would prefer to install the RealPlayer Express app for Windows 8.

Step 7

Press the "Windows" key on your computer keyboard to launch the Start screen, and then select the "Store" app tile. Move your mouse to the top right corner of the screen, click the Search charm and then enter "RealPlayer Express" in the search field.

Step 8

Select "RealPlayer Express" in the search results screen and then click the "Install" button. Wait a few seconds for Windows to add the app to your Start screen. You can now play your transferred RealPlayer videos on the new computer.

Tip

  • You can also use a local area network connection or an online file storage service, such as SkyDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox to transfer the files from the old computer to the new PC. However, depending on the size, the number of files and the speed of your connection, this may take longer than using an external drive.

Warning

  • The information in this article applies to computers running the Windows 8 operating system. It may differ slightly or significantly for other versions of Windows.

Out of Anaikatti: Bug side story
“Come quickly,” whispered my husband, looking very excited. I followed him, wondering what got this usually phlegmatic man so worked up. It was a dragonfly. So what, you may ask. Yes, you’ve probably seen dragonflies before but not like this one: all red, purple and pink. As it danced over a dark pink rose, it was difficult to tell where the rose began and where the dragonfly ended. Read more


A trekker’s guide to the Himalayas
My sole climbing feat before I set out on a high-altitude trek of 14,000 feet in the Himalayas this year was climbing a 50-feet-tall water tank in Puducherry. And that too nine years ago. I often recollected, with an odd mix of amusement and shame, how my knees got wobblier as I ascended the rusty rungs of the tank’s metal ladder, thanks to bouts of intense acrophobia… That is why, when folks at home greeted my brave decision to scale the Himalayas with stares of disbelief, it did not seem out of place. Read more
The other side of the Himalayas
Ninety per cent of visitors to the Indian Himalayas keep visiting the same 10 per cent of places, over and over again.

For the love of country
Ljubljana’s central square in twilight is a thing of beauty. Fairy lights strung between buildings look like stars against a pinkish-blue sky. A jet plane, its initial trajectory hidden by the façade of a red Franciscan church, cuts across the horizon, leaving behind a faint trail. Adults ride past on bicycles, as kids run around excitedly. Tourists stop by food stalls serving crepes and mulled wine. Read more


Taking a ride on the wild side

A window to the North East

A walk in the woods
Summer was at its worst when, one morning, I realised that I was probably one of the few left behind in blazing Delhi. After some quiet fuming, out came the route map of Himachal Pradesh, followed by a quick search for a suitable weekend getaway in the hills and a text to my good friend Moushumi, asking her to join me if possible. It was a tall order, considering that she lived in Bangalore. Read more

Exploring the city of superlatives
It’s a bit of a ‘top of the world’ experience. After all, it is a view from the observation deck on the 125th floor of the tallest building in the world. That is, if you have not gone further up to the 148th floor of the Burj Khalifa. The air at this level is rarefied, literally, as entry into the observatory also comes with special lounge access and a dedicated elevator which takes you through flash images of the world’s most iconic landmarks as it takes you up. Read more
