Avisynth -> DirectShowSource, open in VirtualDubMod, save as AVI, works just fine as long as RM file is constant frame rate and you have registered realmediasplitter.ax. If DirectShowSource is broken, it must have recently happened.

i have very bad experiences with DirectShowSource, so maybe im bi-ased... but in several cases it caused severely out of sycnh files.

TMPGEnc does a better job IMO.

all this will of course reencode the video stream

DirectShowSource is fine in AviSynth 2.5.5

Maybe the files that had sync issues had VBR audio? Next time try:

directshowsource(...)
ensureVBRmp3sync() #works for all VBR audio, not just mp3

If your RM files are low / medium bitrate files, and encoded without options to ensure all frames are encoded, they may be Variable Framerate (VFR), and then you will get sync problems with the DirectShowSource method. Specifically, a lot of older RM content may be VFR, or have some skipped frames.

All RealAudio codecs are CBR.
