Q: "Why can't I see the TV show or movie I bought from iTunes in RealTimes?"

A: When you download a movie or TV show from the iTunes store, you will find that these videos can be only watched on Apple devices and players because of the Fairplay DRM protection. All iTunes purchased/rental movies and TV show episodes are copy protected by the DRM technology; Therefore, it will not show up in RealTimes.
However, other videos that are synced or downloaded to your device from iTunes--such as video podcasts, music videos and personal recordings will appear in the realtimes app. These videos can be viewed using realtimes but they cannot be uploaded or shared.

RealPlayer does have a few tricks up its sleeve. The interfaces for both products are similar. They both show thumbnails of artist/album covers or title lists, artist, format, time, and other information. Both have the expected player controls, libraries, playlists and so on. Overall ease of use for the respective interfaces is comparable for the Windows versions. However, Realplayer supports more media formats than iTunes.
