Is anyone into Real Media?

[fmctm1sw]

I don't see it get much "run" here. Is anyone using it for anything? Someone told me it was OK for cartoons.

I don't think it's good for much, especially cartoons. It's a streaming format, and has no real use outside streaming content.

i hate real and anything that comes out of them, realone is probably the worst excuse for a media player ever

I think I would vomit if I was to find any RealMedia crap on my computer.

I have real on my computer. I used to hate them. But they do have some good streaming media solutions. And it has great compatibility. The only thing that I don't like about them is that the programs are quite a bit bloated, and tend to try to take over everything. I tend not to use them often, but I wouldn't put them completely down. They do have some very talanted programers. Alot of hard work went into the programs, and they work great for what they are.

I don't use Real as my media jukebox, or encoder of any sort. But I do think that thier streaming media is quite good.

can you tell me the best software for capturing a RM stream so i can download it and then covert it to mpeg?

[K_cin_az]

anyone know if their is a program to go from a saved .rm video file to either .avi or .mpeg???????

I'd rather eat dog sh@t than put *Real* anything on my computers! Their apps are full of adware, spyware and the format pretty much stinks....

Hmm you are holding back, tell us what you really think.

But really, what i want to do is take a RM video stream that is on a website and download it to my PC to convert to an mpeg. Is it possible?

[thayne]

The only way I know of to do this is with a screen capture app, but the final quality won't be very good, probably no worse than the rm file though

I saw one (an app) posted here a while back, but cannot remember the name.

Here you go, it's called SnagIt
