Bros, just wanna ask if there is any 3rd party solution to the original miniDisplay to VGA adapter? If there is, kindly post it here or pm me.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

wth? if u want windows then install windows la.

OSX itself IS an alternative to windows, a much better one.

u can try mplayer but u need a little tweak

Else, you just stick to real player for mac. No choice

Thanks for the feedback bro, thought could get one locally.

I was looking at some of the adapters on eBay & it costs less than RM50, so eBay it is then.

thanks for the advice

oh sorry, i didnt realize u meant real as in Real player . i thought u mean a 'real' (as in very good) windows alternative

i juz use realplayer for mac and so far no issues. anyway, i remember a few years ago (when im a pc user) i used quicktime to play rmvb. why now cannot?

really sad, my alu macbook got stolen yesterday....don't ever park your car at shoppin centre with your laptop inside it....lesson learned the hard way

which shopping complex dude? sorry for the sad news

but 1st of all, u shouldn't leave ur laptop inside right? anyway, sorry to hear that.
