.rm?

hi
I search this, couldn't get an answer
I downloaded a video that is a .rm when i open it i uses VLC and had no picture just sound so i converted it with iSquint and still now picture what can i do?
also what is a .rm?

real media i think and real dont have a mac player so delete and move on

Real does have a mac player but it's old and unsupported. Try Flip4mac to play it or Ffmpeg to convert it (you need the rm codecs).

EDIT: I was wrong. Lack of sleep. Download Realplayer here: http://www.real.com/
Wasn't wrong about Ffmpeg tho. Converts easily.

I'll give that a go Thanks

FFmpeg works or try Handbrake/Mac The Ripper to convert. Real Media does not have a recent player for Mac i been looking as i need it as well now LoL

I cant open it in flip4mac and FFmpeg cant find a download?
why cant it all be the same?

flip for mac is for WMV only i think. and use firefox to download FFmpeg that should work

for .rm (real media files) you do have to use the real player.
as far as I know there is no other possibility to play those files (unlike windows). I might be wrong but I am pretty sure...you could always convert the clip itself but for me that would be too much of a hassle.

Yes, I was wrong about Flip4mac. You can use Ffmpeg to convert but you need the rm codecs to do it. I think you can get them here: https://helix-producer.helixcommunity.org/downloads.htm
Ffmpeg is a pain to install, needing 2 different downloads of other apps to run (mencoder and something else), but it does a great job.

hey man just download the lastest version of real player for mac,i had the same problem. real.com
