Rm Files

[browser]

is there a program to convert .rm or .ram files to avi or mpg or nething else? or to save it to hard drive

[I.am]

rm Converter (http://www.boilsoft.com/rmconverter.html)

Also,
Saving Streaming Video. (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/streambox_vcr.cfm)
(Only if you care - It is illegal in US to use this due to a lawsuit with RealMedia. )

[browser]

neither worked, rmconverter said my .ram or .rm filess wasn't a "real video" file

[I.am]

Well you have to have the "*.rm or *.ram" file saved on your hard drive and then try converting. I guess you must have done that.

How about the second one? does it record the streaming video?

That is what i remember from before.

If that doesnt work, try searching on google for "saving rm files" or "convert rm to mpeg."

I use EO Video.
You'll be able to convert to avi or mpg, even vcd mpeg.

TINRA (http://members.fortunecity.com/tinra04/) converts .rm to .avi

Tinra rocks. But youll need the tinra gui and the stabalizer file if you dont want to run it from the command line.

For EO Video version 1.2--

(wish I knew how to post screenshots in this forum, would make things easier and clearer)

Open EO and you'll notice on the right hand panel there's a gray area. Drag the rm file there.

On the bottom of EO window, you'll notice tabs. Click the one that says "Converter".

You'll notice once you're in the Converter window there's an "Output format" drop down with which you can choose mpeg or avi.

In the "Compression" drop-down, you can choose for example between mpeg-1 or mpeg(vcd) or svcd.

After you choose whatever format and compression you want, hit the "convert" button on the right side and let it do its work. RM conversions aren't very fast so you'll need patience, but then, if you're using Kazaa or Klite to d/l movies, patience is a learned virtue.

"hit the "convert" button on the right side"

Oop,s this should read on the left hand side.

You might not be aware but there is an "EDIT" button on top of your post. You can always edit what you wrote if you would like to make changes. :)

I didn't notice that earlier.
Guide to Avatars and Signatures. (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=19152)
Here you will information how to upload an image (your screenshot in this case) to a server and how to link it to the board.
If its only already, the "IMG" button above will help you insert the url for that.

Hope this helps :)

Great, I got me an avatar now. Not ideal since the image needs to be bigger for the joke to show up but it's good for now. I used the url from the ref you gave me. But it doesn't say how to post a screen shot, unless instead of using a signature image, I just substitute that with a screenshot?

Wonder if browser succeeded in converting the rm in the end.

i tried them all but didn't work, in EO-Video it says this .ram script points to a distant server or sumthing like that. In TINRA, it says it is not a Real Video file and Streambox VCR just doesn't d/l nething, keeps getting timeout.
