Burns 700MB of Data or 80 Minutes of Music to a CD in 2 Minutes or Less*

IRVINE, CA - Nov. 18, 2002 ? NTI (NewTech Infosystems, Inc.) announced today that the NTI CD-burning technology incorporated in RealNetworks?, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNWK) RealOne? Player makes it up to 25 times faster than its closest competitor, Windows? Media Player. With NTI?s ultra-speed CD-burning capabilities, PC users can record authorized multimedia content to a CD at speeds of up to 52X (*depending on the speed of their writer)--without purchasing an upgrade. Windows Media Player is limited to 2x burning on all but the new XP platform.

Featuring a small footprint and easy integration, NTI's CD-burning technology enables RealOne Player to provide users with a simple and easy to use process for creating personal CDs. Select the songs, put a blank CD in the burner, and burn the CD at real-time speed. Consumers may also burn MP3 CDs with automatically-generated playlists, normalize the volume across all CD songtracks, create CD mixes with cross-fade effects, and can even remove the gaps between audio tracks and print jewel case covers.

"NTI's CD-burning solution set new benchmarks in speed, reliability, and compatibility that are helping RealOne gain recognition as the world's best universal media player,? said Ryc Brownrigg, General Manager, Consumer Division, RealNetworks, Inc. "When RealOne received PC Magazine's Editor's Choice award last month, the reviewer specifically mentioned how RealOne outperformed Windows Media Player when burning CDs."

"NTI congratulates RealNetworks on receiving this prestigious award," said Mr. Bill Yao, President & CEO of NTI. "It's gratifying to know that the performance and reliability of NTI's CD-burning technology is contributing to RealOne Player's success. We also appreciate the work RealNetworks has done to extend our market penetration and look forward to the product's growing adoption in new markets worldwide.?

The new version of RealOne Player delivers new features in both the premium RealOne Player Plus as well as the free RealOne Player to offer consumers the most compelling media experience. RealOne Player is available for download at: www.real.com

As part of their partnership, NTI and RealNetworks jointly market and promote each other?s software products in the PC and CD drive OEM channels, as well as the software retail channel. NTI also bundles the RealOne Player and offers it in conjunction with NTI CD-MakerTM, an award-winning, full-featured CD burning software solution.
