RealMedia to AVI/MPEG conversion?

[Antz]

I'm needing to convert a .RM video file to either AVI or MPEG in order to use it as an input to my DVD authoring software. I've downloaded a number of programs that claim to do it but most of them have limitations which make them useless (like only converting half the video or watermarking it).
Does anyone know of any good reliable freeware (or even x-day trials) that I can use to do this properly? Any help would be appreciated. Thanx.

Hi!

Try using "EO Player" (Don't be misled by the name - it also does conversions of RM to .AVI)...

I use AimOne Video Converter (not a freeware app) - it does a very good job and works with pretty much any file type (except files usually associated with QuickTime).

i tried it once and it worked perfectly :)
since you want the final .avi video to be used for DVD authoring, i suppose you can lower the quantizer (while you are in the VirtualDubMod step) to get highest quality possible (the closest to the original RealMedia source)

@CWR03

AimOne Video Converter does convert rmvb to avi but the video, sound and subtitle do not synchronize anymore. Why?
