yordan 10 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 Here you will find a short tutorial that does exactly what you need: http://www.divx-digest.com/articles/rm2avi.html  It's already in avi format. It's an avi file with RM codec. And I would like change it to DivX codec in order to be able to read it with a divX reader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the reasons why I avoid them unless it's a final output and a client wants wmv, mov, and rm files. That being said, the rmvb file for torrent downloads of tv shows, great. a 60 minute show in a 60MB file is great. Especially when you just want to see the episode you missed and not wanting to burn it to a DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks, Folks !Amigo Easy Video converter did the job. Strangely, the last version failed, but older versions (5.01) worked perfectly.Yordan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
