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. |

you can use ffmpeg to try to decode the thing to MPEG.

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. Yordan |
