Files: xx1.rmvb, xx2.rmvb, xx3.rmvb, etc. This files are around 45-60mins.
I'm thinking that in order to burn a dvd, I 1st need to convert .rmvb into AVIs? then convert AVIs into MPEG or VOBs? I want to burn 8-10 of these 45-60min .rmvbs into one dvd? How do I do that? Help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might look into ConvertxToDVD. It says it can handle RM video. If not, try SUPER. It might take a few more steps, depending on how much you want to convert to MPEG or DVD format.
If you convert to AVI, then you would have another encode to MPEG-2. Not a good idea. You will lose quality with each encode, and the RMVB is probably not that good in the first place.A direct encode fro RMVB to MPEG-2 would be preferred. From a MPEG-2 file, you would have to author the files to create a DVD. Look to the left for 'AUTHOR' in the guides. <<<<<<

What if I want to burn 2 or more .rmvb movies in one dvd? I tried them with DivXtoDVD, but in the Operation Log table, it said:
Code:MSG Level #0 - Unsupported video codec. Found 3 stream(s) - movie duration 00:07:08.947 Stream#0 - Audio: 0x0000, 480000 Hz, 44100 channels, 64 kb/s Stream#1 - Video: RV40, 608x336, 12.00 fps, 649 kb/s Stream#2 - Data: 0x0000 Computed Frame Aspect Ratio: 1.8095 Inpossible conversion: This file contains an A/V stream we are unable to decode.

You might try SUPER and see how it does. I rarely do any RM conversions.
SUPER uses Mencoder, which is a program that does apparently support RMVB. That video is 7 hours long at 12 fps? I can't imagine it would be worth much effort converting. That sounds like surveillance tape video quality.
But give SUPER a try. Probably ConvertXToDVD can only handle some formats of RM video. -
just wondering...are the videos you're trying to transcode anime?
i know a site which offers anime in RMVB at 12fps, but just from experience with their videos, since the framerate is so low, the video is not worth encoding, even if each frame is clear...it looks like a bunch of moving pictures with no smoothness between movements. -
If you want it the easy way, use winavi to convert straight to dvd.
It's a very popular convertor for rmvb/rm to any format. Takes only a few clicks.
The conversion takes little time and the quality is ok compared to other rmvb convertors.
Another option is to use tmpgenc to convert to mpg/mpg2. You have to install realalternative and you better rip the audio with program like eovideo and use that as your audiostream in tmpgenc to avoid audioproblems. Then use an dvd author program to turn them into dvd files. The quality is a little bit better than winavi.
If you have a divx player, you could try to convert them to xvid. If your rmvbs are of good quality, converting them to xvid is better than mpg. You can fit 10 episodes on one dvd compared to about 5 episodes of about the same quality. -
libavformat can handle rmvb since rmvb is just rm, but libavcodec can not handle RV40 (RV9 EHQ). mencoder uses real's decoder in the form of a dll (or so file under linux) to handle it. I guess eventually someone might reverse engineer real video 9/10 so that ffmpeg and apps that depend on it like ConvertX can handle rmvb files.

I personally dislike RMVB as it a a proprietary format and doesn't generally allow outside programs to use it's format. I convert RMVB to AVI, usually Xvid. SUPER works for most RMVB, and the older EO Video worked well, also.
If you don't want to lose quality, use Real Alternative to play the RMVB on your computer and don't convert. Otherwise, you will need to convert it to a more common format. Xvid is a good choice for archive on a computer. MPEG-1 (VCD) may be a good format for a CD/DVD and a settop player. It depends on the quality.
I'm not singling out RM video for being problematic to convert. WMV is no better. I prefer a more universal format for video stored on my computer. I toss out ogg, RM, WMV and any of the rest and convert all to Xvid/Divx or MPEG-1 or MPEG-2. But that's my preference. -
ogg is about as far away from proprietary as you can get. Opensource and patent free.
An XviD file would be a raw video stream, since XviD is just a video codec. It can be stored in avi, mp4, ogm, mkv, nut, dsm, etc. containers. With avi being the most common and I guess mp4 the official container since that is the offical MPEG-4 container. -
