Trouble transcoding real files with avisynth

[mvidal]

I'm trying to convert some realvideo files into either avi or wmv files. I have real alternative and the real splitter installed. I can play real files using real alternative. but when I try to open real files in mplayer2, graphedit or avisynth I get an error saying that "No combination of filters could be found to render th stream". Anyone have some suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? What does the filter graph look like when using the real splitter?

I'm using DirectShowSource("file.rm", fps=25, convertfps=true) as my avs file.

I have the latest avisynth package installed.

I don't have time to look into the specifics at the moment, but can you add the real splitter (selecting the file of interest) in graphedit manually, via add filter, and connect the rest of the chain from there? If so, the filter simply isn't registered for real media files properly; you need to fix up the registry like so:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Media Type\Extensions\.rm]
"Source Filter"="{<guid>}"

Where <guid> is the guid of the real splitter. Input it manually or add it to a .reg file, and Directshow should be able to take it from there. I don't have it or I'd look it up for you, sorry.

Is this correct? Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ I find the guid for RealMediaSplitter.ax?

now I get a message saying "no such interface supported".
