I have some MIT OpenCourseWare videos in .RM format that I wish to carry on my iPod. Is there some simple way (hopefully free) to perform the conversion on my Mac?



Thanks,

Abhinav

    The app looks like Windows only. Guess I'll have to keep looking.

    I don't know how to convert them but I do have a question for you on this. How did you save the .rm files. I've been viewing some of the courseware but I cannot save the files.



    Thanks,

    Instructions for downloading the videos is available here:

    I've tried both the applications you've suggested with no effect, I even tried using the RealMedia codecs with FFMpegX as mentioned here:

    Yes, I've tried this one too, FFmpegX kept crashing on me.Maybe I'll give it another shot in the near future. For all their super-intelligent people, why does MIT use RM?
