Extension: .RMVB

try downloading this version of REAL player: RealPlayer10-5GOLD

most have been using it without any problem...

try it n c....

I tried using winavi to convert a 400MB rmvb movie file (with whatever the default settings are in winavi converter).
It worked, but the output avi file was less than half the size of the original rmvb file (less than 200M and the picture quality was terrible (very pixelated) compared with the original rmvb file which played fine and smoothly with latest version of windows media player.
I also like burning to DVD which is why I wanted to convert, but I would prefer to maintain the quality of the original rmvb file in the conversion.
Any suggestions?

Downloading the .rmvb will take half the time of an.avi or.divx and winavi converts it to DVD usually in less than an hour.

If anyone else is like me and prefers to watch their movies on a standalone DVD player ( I take my portable DVD to work) .rmvb is the easiest and quickest download and conversion.

Can you give the name of plugin or url? Googled and found only Nero Mega Plugin Pack 1.0. Is this the one? It doesn’t seem to say that it supports rmvb.

Unless you havent got the latest plugins ..

Do a google search on “rmvb plugin for nero”

Yeah this worked perfectly all i did was download the media player and it came with the respective file format needed.

Thanks alot to FrightfoO

I downloaded something using bitTorrent, and now I have these two files that end in "-rmbus.1.rmvb” and "-rmbus.2.rmvb”

WinAvi isn’t converting them, Windows Media Player can’t play it, and I just want to watch my movie! What should I do?

so yeah, i dl’d monty python & the holy grail, its in rmvb, and i have a free ipod video converter. when i consulted the help for this gay-ass format, it told me to dl a codec pack (or something like that) i did. it came with a fuck-load of useless programs. and im still pissed. what the fuck do i do with this shit?

the ipod converter is free, and kicks ass. it says it supports rmvb, but it doesnt. im sad, and about to go to wherever real-whatever is located, and go fucking postal with a pair of scissors.

Thanks to Adrek17 for suggesting realalt123. Small download and short install and can now play these files.

Thanks again

i use realproducer plus which includes realmedia editor, which can join all the .rmvb files without any problem.

u can then convert the whole movie after join, to the format u wish with another sofware.

media player classic is still the best i know apart from real player itself, to play these .rm or .rmvb files

i tried vlc player but it played only the sound and it staggered every 1 or 2 secs.

Hi All...

I just download Real Alternative...
it perhaps live up to lots of it’s good comments,

but ... it plays mors of my movie upside down!!

Any clue to fix this up?

REAL networks are notorious for their intrusive software.

Really, you could actually only need to install Media Player Classic and the required codecs, because this free open-source media player can open/play several different formats, not only REAL media.. It just needs a bit of configuring.

Real Alternative:

QuickTime Alternative:

These two packs come with Media Player Classic and the required codecs.

1. Use something like Realaudio-to-Wav Recorder to encode the Real Audio to WAV (PCM/16bit/44.1kHz).

2. Now use TMPGEnc:

First close wizard, then load in a Template (use Load button - right corner). Choose one that’s best for your video - NTSC (29.97 fps), NTSCFilm (23.976 fps) or PAL (25 fps)

Video source: should be - original RMVB file
Audio source: should be - the WAV file that was created.

START to encode.

TMPGEnc and Realaudio-to-Wav Recorder are freeware programs, but there are other ways of doing the conversion.

EO Video is another one that can do it. It is not totally free though. You only get a short trial period before it must be purchased:

Hey I used the real media codecs and windows classic to open my .rmvb.
Thanks alot guys.

umm... i have these rmvb files(anime eps) that i can watch on real player, but when i try to put them into Windows Movie Maker, it says this:

The file C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\BOBOBO_Power\[Power][BOBOBO][01][jp-gb][xvid].rmvb is not a supported file type, and it cannot be imported into Windows Movie Maker.

... why???? i want to put it up on youtube, but if i can’t divide it into 3 parts,(each ep is 25 mins, and youtube has a 10 minute limit for their videos). this rmvb thing took me like a month to dld(it’s 6G and now, i can’t even put it up on youtube??? so i’m just gonna hafta delete it all??? NOOOOO!!!!! pls help the dying fan girl... TTTToTTTT

to play rmbv files all you need is the codec. Once you have it installed your file it’s playable with any media player. I use Bsplayer. To get the codec google for “Real Alternate”. The pack it’s small around 15mb and works fine. No need to get the full pack with RealOne. Enjoy!
