For instance, it dumps video destined for an iPod or iPhone into iTunes, so it’s transferred the next time you sync. RealPlayer chooses a format and settings, does the conversion, and even places the resulting video in the proper location for syncing when possible. But now you can also transfer them to forty-plus gadgets with a couple of clicks. As in RealPlayer 11, SP’s predecessor, you can download video files to your Mac for later playback in Real itself. A utility runs in the background and watches as you view videos at YouTube, DailyMotion, MetaCafe, and others that offer DRM-free content. It took a little longer than the company thought, but a beta version of RealPlayer SP for OS X is available for download now–Real gave me a sneak peek last week–and is largely similar to the Windows version. At the time, RealPlayer SP was a Windows-only product, but Real said it would bring it to Mac users by the end of 2009. Instead of primarily being about playback, it served as a hub for easy conversion of Web video for playback on a bevy of devices–MP3 players like the iPod, smartphones, gaming consoles, and more. Last June, I wrote about RealPlayer SP, a cool new version of the venerable, not-universally-beloved media player that shifted its emphasis.
