Browse All TopicsI have been recording streamed Real files (usually .ra) for years, using Replay AV, converting to .mp3 for iTunes use. After recent upgrades from Replay AV7 to 8 and from RealPlayer 10.5 to 11, the incoming files are .rm, and either won't convert or convert empty/silent.
I've read the Forum posts and other comments, and have subsequently switched to Replay Converter 3.0 beta, reloaded K-Lite Mega codecs, and (to my irritation) gone back to RealPlayer 10.5. I don't want to use RealAlternative. The outcome is that a different converter (Jodix) will now handle the .rm to .mp3 conversions without difficulty, but Replay Converter still does nothing. Even when you toggle the DirectShow switches.
This means that the useful automation associated with Replay AV8 downloads to iTunes is gone, and the product (at least for my purposes) is largely valueless.
The OS is XP Pro, on a Toshiba laptop, without any obvious system clashes. Ideally, I want to go back to RealPlayer 11 (I know it's fat), but more importantly I need Replay AV8 and Replay Converter to work on .rm to .mp3 conversions.
PS In which version did RealPlayer switch from .ra to .rm? In what way are the codecs different?
Thanks for any help.
