avs for real to avi conversion

[boombastic]

I'm trying to convert some .rm (real video and real audio) to avi,i opened this avs with virtualdubmod and used acm lame for compressing the audio and xvid with cartoon mode for the video but i get a very unsynchronized avi:

LoadPlugin("I:\PROGRA~1\ARCalculator\dgmpgdec\DGDecode.dll")

DirectShowSource("E:\bert.rm")

Any suggestions?
Which is the most straightforward method for this conversion?

directshowsource(""E:\bert.rm",video=true)
a=directshowsource(""E:\bert.rm",video=false,audio=true)
audiodub(last,a)

You can then access synchronized audio via avisynth, encode using (I think) behappy, or dump it to wave if you need to make further changes. Also you don't need dgdecode here.

With RealVideo don't you need to tell AviSynth to convert the frame rate, or else it will go too fast?

This could be a better, more workable script (it has worked for me in the past)

last=DirectShowSource("E:\bert.rm",video=true,fps=insertfpshere,convertfps=true)
a=DirectShowSource("E:\bert.rm",video=false,audio=true)
AudioDub(last,a)

Well your script worked very well for .rm files but now i've got some .rmvb files and if i try to open the same script with MediaPlayer Classic or VirtualDub they hung up,i think that rmvb stands for "real media variable bitrate",is it right?How can i modify the script to work on them?

Make sure you have latest real player.
directshowsource(("E:\bert.rmvb, fps=yourfps ,convertfps=true)
will load both audio and video without any problem.
Multistream(SureStream) rm files need to be treated with

to extract rm/rmvb file with one video and one audio stream.

i've got the latest realalternative (v 1.46) to play realmeida files.
With your script i can load the file but it plays without audio and very very slowly,these are the info about the fiel found with mediainfo:

File size : 58.8 MiB
Format : Real Media Format
Overal BitRate : 408 Kbps
PlayTime : 19mn 52s

Video #0
Codec : x-pn-realvideo
Bit rate : 376 Kbps

Audio #0
Codec : x-pn-realaudio

Pl. install latest real player:) along with real media splitter-you will already have that from real alternative
Real alternative does not always work correctly in my experience, I do not use it any more. Installation of splitter plus real player allows playback in Windows media player.

However I am one of those people who doesn't like RealPlayer and would prefer not to have it on my system. That is why Real Alternative was made.

AviSynth is a more flexible than that program. That's not to say that the program aint good.
