RealPlayer SP has been very well-received by PC users worldwide. But no matter how happy we've been with the results, we ve had one thing nagging at us-the lack of Mac support. We've been all over the country in the last six months talking about RealPlayer SP, and the one universal complaint was that it was PC-only. That all changes today as we're thrilled to announce RealPlayer SP for Mac. Mac users have been able to download videos to their machines for a few years with RealPlayer 11, but with SP, you're now able to take those videos and put them on your favorite phones, iPods, and even your XBox.

The Mac version works slightly differently than the PC software, as there are certain requirements/allowances for Mac OSX. For instance, the infamous download this button you may be familiar with in the PC version is not in the Mac version. Instead, whenever you watch a video, the download/converter window of RPSP will open and ask if you d like to save that video to your Mac and convert it to your device. This is similar to how RP 11 currently works. The only difference is that now you ll have the option to move the videos elsewhere.

This should be great news for people who like the functionality of RPSP but have their iPhones synced with a Mac (like I do)! Now all of those hilarious web videos, awesome sports videos or videos of your kids can now go wherever you go. We d love for you to give the Mac version a try, give us feedback and spread the word. We ll be monitoring our Facebook page closely, looking for any feedback as well as suggestions for future versions.
