While you download a web video a separate window, RealPlayer Downloader opens. You can use it to monitor, pause, or stop the video's download progress. However, you're also free to ignore RealPlayer Downloader as it downloads the video. Because RealPlayer Downloader is handling the download, you may close the video's web page or move on to other videos or web sites.
Clicking the Download this Video button begins the video download and opens RealPlayer Downloader.
Trim, Convert, Copy, or Share your download when it is complete.
RealPlayer Downloader can queue multiple videos simultaneously. So while one video is downloading, you can add more videos from one or more web pages. They can download in the background
while you do other things within RealPlayer or elsewhere on your computer.
