Hi,

I would like to convert a .ram file I downloaded to an mp3 format as it is more convenient to play...

What applications are good for this?

Thanks,

Jamie

I checked that out but it says "for .ra formats only", whereas I would like to convert a .ram format.

Thanks for the speedy reply though!!

RAM formats are video streams which work only with RealPlayer. They were encoded for live playback with RealPlayer. You need a way to download them to the computer as RM files, first. I couldnt find a way to do this, and I feel it's not possible either, because stuff that's encoded RAM is usually stuff someone has a copyright on and thus doesn't want to share.

Doh! This ain't my day. Maybe someone else has an idea. Good luck!
