Those tools really sound cool. ASAP i will uninstall RealPlayer and start
over with installing and updating. Hopefully i will identify every single
file used by RealPlayer and which are added during update.

Thanks a lot, Frank.

P.S. And now i remember that I know how to contact a developer, how
distributes a codec pack which even contains the real-codecs.
satsuki decoder pack 1.0.3.5 (dual-lang) from Shinobu (See
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=0d76d59625dc176e13dfe67e6a862db0&thr
eadid=75076)
He will be able to tell me which codecs are needed for simple playback of
RV10 to RV40 (those are the fourcc's for reals video codec :)
