Windows Movie Maker and Real Media

Postby Bill Thompson » Sat Nov 28, 2009 5:57 pm

How do you import or convert and then import Real Media video into the Windows Movie Maker.

I did some research on my own and I found a suggestion to use AlltoAvi. But this program and this suggestion seemed to be geared to converting .rm files. But the files I have that I have used Real Media to download from the net are .flv files.

A little help, please?

The better question is: why would you want to?

There are better alternatives than using realplayer encoded files. Ethically and in terms of quality, If there is a specific reason why the files you have are exempt from our normal ethical constraints, do tell. Also, .flv is flash video, not RealPlayer video, and unless you downloaded it in something like full HD, you wouldn't want to edit with. And even then, we go right back to the ethical constraints. If you're downloading .flv files to edit with, it sure sounds like you're doing something we cannot ethically support. Unless, of course, the video was released under a creative commons license, or something like that, but it probably doesn't count as anime, though it might. Please explain.
