From the Real Player G2 FAQ:

To determine which plugins are installed in your RealPlayer G2, click Options, Preferences, then the Upgrade tab. Scroll through the RealPlayer components list to see which formats your RealPlayer can access. Please note that the renderers use codecs which are installed by other applications. If a codec needed for the playback of a specific datatype is not present on the system, then the renderer cannot play that datatype and will give an error message.
