Converting RM Videos for iPod

abhinav

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

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,

Mark

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?
