Direct editing of RealVideo?

[LoH]

I have a few clips in RealVideo (stop laughing, please), and I need to get them converted to MPEG for a DVDing project.

Anyway, I have several files that exhibit a particular glitch: the video freezes at that point. In the player, it's not a big issue (just move the slider around and you're fine), but it throws my conversion programs for a loop: I get the same frame for the rest of the clip. One of the clips has a more severe problem: it crashed the player when at a particular part. Again, you can move the slider past it with no problems.

Therefore, I'm wondering if there exist programs that directly edit .RM files without running a conversion algorithm like that (and thus be immune to the bugs) so I can edit around the problem and then convert properly.

Which programs do you use to convert the files?

You can not edit RealMedia files. That is simply the way it is.

Are you using tinra to convert?

Try EO Video. I think it is relatively cheap (there is an evaluation version at least). It is slow, but should work better.

I do not know of any other software to convert RealMedia files.
