I know everybody hates Real Player, but this is more of a question about the format than the player. I've got a bunch of South Park episodes in .rm format, but they play awful on my Pocket PC using the RealOne player. The video is choppy. I want to convert them to Divx, Xvid or WM9 format. Is there any way to do this? There's surprisingly little info on the 'net about it.

As far as I know this is the only solution: TINRA
TINRA -> This Is Not Real Anymore

Unfortunately it's very-very beta (0.05) and I couldn't get it working with the newer real files. (Though I managed to convert couple of SouthPark episodes myself... )

Install mplayer. It comes with mencoder which can turn anything it can play into mpeg or DivX

Yeah, the realplayer codec for it only seems to work for Linux. sucky for me. I don't suppose there's a way to get around that for us who only have Windows on our laptops?

Peacy: how did you get a copy of Realplayer G2 that Tinra needs? I have a really old realplayer (8 basic), but the only download I can find is RealOne and obviously I ain't touching that with a 50-ft pole.

I don't know. Install Linux ;-)

Perhapse one of these days I will make a modified version of knoppix that includes mplayer

Can't. No room for both, and need XP for work (Pocket PC programming). Knoppix with mplayer would be sweet, though. I have a lot of fun messing with Knoppix.

Johnny: That Real Alternative player is a cool rip, but it doesn't seem to have the capability to convert from Real to something else. Or am I totally missing it?
