How to convert video from .RM to .AVI or .MPG?

[vl88vl]

Beside program "EO Video", is there any other way to convert a video from .rm format to .avi or .mpg format?
I have a .rm video which play fine from the beginning to the end. However, when I used "EO Video" to convert, it couldn't convert a whole clip. Even when I break into the small pieces, it doesn't work well.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I've never seen eovideo fail to convert a rm clip that played through into an avi and I've done hundreds. Only occasionally does it crap out if I try going straight to mpg. Did you try to convert to uncompressed avi perhaps and simply run out of disk space or maybe hit the 4 gig limit in win98?

Thank you very much for your quick reply, nutstoyou. I clicked on the "EO Video" link which was added automatically on my previous message. I downloaded and upgraded to the latest EO. It worked very good now. I'm actually very happy.
By the way, I'm using Windows XP, does it have any limit on converting to .AVI?

nutstoyou, I chose 'uncompressed' because I didn't know which one to choose when I converted .rm to .avi format. May I ask what should I choose to convert to .avi? I'm using Windows XP, Athlon 2600+ and I still have about 90GB hard drive.

XP will be fine as long as you formatted to ntfs. Only FAT32 partitions are limited to 4gig filesize. With 90 gigs free you can stick with uncompressed as that will keep the avi at the best quality. I dont have the luxury of that much free space so I go to xvid avi but you dont need to worry.

Once again, thank you very much for your great help
