First off youre NOT going to increase the quality of the realvideo files by converting them to something else. You cant squeeze blood from a stone. Secondly there arent many converters for realvideo films because realvideo is a proprietary format owned by Real Media and they dont want you to be able to edit them without THEIR software which isnt free. If you do by chance find an editor that will convert their format its probably an unlicensed and illegal part of the program. Good luck.

As far as i know, even the QT editor doesnt edit or even open RealMedia files. Only RealPlayer will play RealMedia.
