Hi,
I'm not even sure if this is possible, but I want to watch some .rm files ouside of my computer. I was wondering if there was a way to convert them in order to burn them onto cd or dvd? And if is, how do I do it?
Thanks
Jen

mysticrain, if you're running Windows Vista, I can't help you, if you're running Windows XP, then the only known solution that is jaws friendly is Super© Video Converter.
Yes, its freeware, and yes the homepage for the prog is very hard to navigate. But I believe that afterdawn has it in its tools section, pm me if you need any help with it, hth.

There is a program called "switch" that will convert many file types. Don't have any RM files to try but perhaps someone might inow if this will work. I use it for stripping audio from quicktime .mov files.

Switch will do this. Get it from
here The plus version isn't free, but the standard version will convert them just fine.

thanks, and not to sound stupid, but what format will it convert them? And will I be able to burn them onto cd or dvd?
Thanks again for all the suggestions.

You can convert them to many other formats of your choice such as mp3, wma, etc. You can then burn htem on to CD just like you would any other files that were in that format using windows xp or any number of cd burning programs. If you want help burning cd's specifically, that's an entirely different topic altogether.

in order to convert them to dvd, you've gotta convert them to .vob files.
In super© video converter, you go to .vob dvd compliant, leave the vid codec as mpeg2 and audio as AC3.
Leave all other settings alone.

Replay converter will also let you work with various types of real media files.

Replay converter I believe is shareware, but a good choice, how accessible is it?
