No converter works, but it's playable

[Mgccl]

I found all RM files from http://www.aduni.org/ (the smallest one will be this one, 20 MB ftp://ftp.aduni.org/videos/ShaiLecture.rm) are impossible to be converted with almost all converter I tried (SUPER, WinAVI, Mencoder, FFMPEG)
but I can watch it with realplayer. Are there any ways to convert it? or the only way to convert is to use programs like camstudio to capture the screen and save as avi?
this is such a pain... does Real officially have a converter or something?

how about alltoavi ?
there's another one with 7 in the title, too
perhaps someone will know it...I think Baldrick mentioned it to me once...

Your sample file is very bizarre.

It does not act like typical .rm or .rmvb files.

You cannot even frameserve using directshow/avisynth scripts (which you usually can with .rm files)

It might be a drm/copyright issue?

RM with DRM? I can play it with real player on any machine... and it's freely download-able... I don't know..

If you install Real Alternative, which contains Media Player Classsic, it plays OK.
I have to agree with poisondeathray. It's an odd file.

yep, thx, real alternative worked. but what's next, I tried to use the real alternative + VirtualDubMod + AviSynth and it didn't work. so I can only play it, but no way to convert it.

Give WinFF a try (it's converted every video file that I've thrown at it since installing it).

As a last resort, EOVideo can sometimes handle hard to convert files. There's a 30 day free trial.

OMG thx KBeee, EOVideo did the job
