You can use graphedit.

if you don't like graphedit then use avisynth & directshowsource ;-))
i think you can open the avs in virtualdub then set wave as audio compression => save audio : i think it can works

[xtcy]

i did this avs script

directshowsource("e:\dtdrive\teena.rm")

but virtualdub can't load it (error msg: "format not supported")

any other help ?

thank you

Sometimes converting Real Audio can be difficult. The other day I wanted to convert some Real Audio 3 from 1997. The only way I found was to record them through the sound card. But the No 1 problem has been to play them back at first. I discovered to my surprise that Real Player 10 does not support their old codecs as standard for playback. The player wanted to download the outdated codecs but was not successfull because it was not pleased with the date on my computer that is frozen since three years. So I had to go on Real Website for a nightmare trip in mercantilism and forced infantilization where I finally found after much effort a deeply buried page and managed to download Real Player 3 that I installed. Of course, even with Graphedit and Gabest's splitter it was not possible to convert the file as the codecs where not part of Real Player 10. I used HarddiskOgg to record the sound.

@Karl : Is to possible to get those old codecs for the latest player to install them manually ? And will they be bundled as standard in the next release of Real Player ? Or will Real Player not check the date on my machine for allowing me to download something in the future ?
