kokyun - convert to divx la.....rmvb is old hat like cassette tape man. already have concrete evidence from bad cyborg...hahahaha

side note: i never like Real player or anything from that company. they always install and take over your computer pref. why wont the chinese/hongkies switch?!

It's the user base. Why do they keep doing it? Because it's a religion.

sorry to hijack this thread but i also see a lot of new pc users sticking to REAL player vs itunes or even windows media player for video and audio. weird isnt it ? my cousin who is a new pc user will ONLY use real player. no matter what.

spent the whole morning tried to encode my video myself, but my eMac hang most of the time. conclusion: Just stick with the video i have now, and stop spending my time on encode those video we have.

Btw, thanks for helping me out.

eh? eMac should be ok witht he codec ma...
anyway... me too dislike real medias. that will be the last last choice of file format to have.

I wouldn't wish RMVB upon my worst enemies. Hmm. Or perhaps I should.

You need not to have window in order to convert RMVB in Mac. You may use Cosmopod : http://www.cocoamug.com/cosmopod/. I have tried to convert RM format to MP4 succesfully.
(NB : Make sure to change your format ".RMVB" to ".RM" before converting)

For the time you spend tinkering with the RMVB conversion, you could have googled and found a better version of it in AVI format, downloaded it, and watched it on your MPEG4 capable DVD deck. Just saying.
