One of the hardest things that I was trying to figure out is how to convert Real Media movie to other format since I really hate Real player.
Real player is too slow even though the size of movie is quite small. Finally one day I found a very useful article here
Here is how I did it
* First of all you’ll need 2 application installed
1. ffmpegX
2. Real player (You just need the Codec that come with the program then you can uninstall it later)
* Once installed go to Applications folder, control-click on Real Player and choose Show Package Contents.
* Navigate into Contents/Frameworks/HXClientKit.framework/Helix Plugins/Codecs.
* Copy all of the Codecs and paste them into the /Library/Application Support/ffmpegX/reallrib (you’ll need to create reallrib folder)
reallib Now you are ready to convert Real movie (.rmvb or .rm) to any movie of you choice just launched ffmpeg and drag Real movie to the ffmpegX window then choose destination and format that you want to convert to, click “Encode” and you’re done ! now just wait for it to finish.
