Digital entertainment services company RealNetworks has announced that the much anticipated new RealPlayer is now available for consumers to download for free at their site. For the first time, consumers can use one application to record and download videos from tens-of-thousands of Web sites with a single click, bringing the digital video recorder (DVR) experience to the Web and ushering in a new era in Internet video.

People can search thousands of sites across the Web for video content, regardless of format, directly from within the RealPlayer. During or after RealPlayer playback of a video clip users can click the new “Share Video Link” feature to email friends a link to the original location of the video.

“Our goal with the new RealPlayer is to enable consumers to watch Internet video whenever and wherever they want,” said Rob Glaser, chairman and CEO of RealNetworks. “By making it ‘one-click’ simple to download, we’re changing they way people experience online video.”
