Convert RMVB?

[dragonsgames]

I have a video in .RMVB format (Real Video Variable Bitrate). Unfortonetly, I can't figure out how to convert it to anything. I've tried iSquint, FFMPEGX, any other ideas?

Look on http://www.videohelp.com/ for help on converting anything TO anything. You did not say what you want to convert to. Anyhow, videohelp site is a good starting point.

I don't think there are any apps that can decode RMVB on OSX except for RealPlayer. For older RM files, VLC will do the trick for you. iSquint will only convert from Quicktime-supported formats, and FFMmpegX will only convert from FFMpeg and mPlayer supported formats.

This won't help with RMVB, but I'd suggest getting the Perian (http://perian.org/) plugin to let Quicktime-enabled apps handle AVI and FLV containers as well as MOV containers; it adds support for the following audio and video codecs: 3ivX, DivX, Flash Screen Video, MS-MPEG4, Sorenson H.263, Truemotion VP6, Xvid, AAC, AC3 Audio, H.264, MPEG4, and VBR MP3.

To play Windows Media through Quicktime-enabled apps, you'll also want Flip4Mac (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx), which is now distributed by Microsoft themselves.

I got the video converted!!! :D
But... no audio... so all I need to do now is convert the audio and I can add it in iMovie and save it... :)

I got an idea, I can play the whole thing and rip the audio off Audio Hijack... :)
