How can I convert an avi file encoded with RM codecs (real media) to a DivX avi file ?
I would like to be able to read it on a stand-alone avi reader.
Virtualdub says "cannot determine file type" and Imtoo rm converter simply freezes, using no cpu and no disk.

It's already in avi format. It's an avi file with RM codec. And I would like change it to DivX codec in order to be able to read it with a divX reader.

Try Quicktime Pro from Apple (yes there is a PC version). Although, RM formats are very hard to work with. One of the reasons why I avoid them unless it's a final output and a client wants wmv, mov, and rm files.

That being said, the rmvb file for torrent downloads of tv shows, great. a 60 minute show in a 60MB file is great. Especially when you just want to see the episode you missed and not wanting to burn it to a DVD.

Thanks, Folks !
Amigo Easy Video converter did the job. Strangely, the last version failed, but older versions (5.01) worked perfectly.
