rmvb is just rm. They changed the extension to make a distinction when Real Video 9 came out since previous codecs were CBR for streaming purposes. As for audio, real can use aac, cook, AC3 or atrac audio.
Convert to what?

I am trying to convert it with convertxtodvd and it does not convert. I did it with another real player file and it worked, but it was labeled mpg, not real audio or anything.

If you have real player installed on your system then most video files will be called "Real Player File", regardless of what they really are. Only those with rm/rmvb extensions are actually Real Video encoded, and convertxtodvd cannot encode these yet.

convertxtodvd as I understand it is using libavcodec/format for input. So if ffmpeg can't decode it, then it can't convert it and ffmpeg only has limited real media support. Cook audio was reverse engineered, AC3 is of course supported as is aac and some of the old video codecs. RV9/RV9EHQ aren't supported. So basically no video. You need to use Real's decoder, either via dshow using Gabest's splitter or via mencoder.

Encode, as in convert videos to Real format, or convert the Real videos to a different format?

That's what I meant. You can use SUPER to encode from RM formats to other formats. I wouldn't convert anything into RM.
