I suggest you read my thread here

I assume RMVB is a real media container? If so, I sure as heck wouldn't edit with that. The quality is horrible.

Just say "NO!" to downloaded footage, Nancy Reagan would.

www.eo-video.com has a program that can convert realmedia to avi, which is an easier format to work with.

Well, if you read then you know you will have to find a way to convert the video to an editable, lossless avi codec such as lagarith or huffYUV. There are converters out there, but you'll need to do that to edit.

And as for it being "better" than downloaded footage, it is downloaded footage:

Wikipedia wrote:RMVB is an abbreviation for RealMedia variable bitrate. It is an extension of the RealMedia multimedia container format developed by RealNetworks.

As opposed to the more common RealMedia container, which holds streaming media encoded at a constant bit rate, RMVB is typically used for multimedia content stored locally. Files using this format have the suffix .rmvb.

RMVB files are typically much smaller in file size than their .mpeg formats, while still retaining reasonable quality. For this reason, they have become common among file-sharing protocols such as Bit Torrent. Support is now available in a wide variety of multimedia players, including the proprietary RealPlayer 10 and the open-sourced Media Player Classic, using an appropriate DirectShow filter.

Therefore, Teh Kio does not approve. |:

It is a downloaded episode, and of the worst kind.

If you type "RMVB to AVI" on google you'll probably get a billion matches with 50kb freeware executables that will convert your episode using horribly tuned standard settings that they probably won't allow you to change. But since RMVB is ugly anyways, that shouldn't be a problem because you can't un-suck it just by changing the container.
