...to do what? Encode RealVideo + put it into Matroska (everything on Linux)? Play it back? Reencode it into something different on a Mac running PPC Linux?

encoding:
nope :(
You CAN encode from a live source or an uncompressed avi, but you can't pipe forward to the producer (yet).

Apparently "Someone here wrote a test encoder on Linux using libavcodec as input source, allowing input of all libavcodec supported formats, but it has not been completed to a state where it can be distributed" :(

Multiplexing:
You can mux using the stadard tools (I think they only were PORTED to windows and are native Linux apps)

Playback:
Mplayer will play it if you have the real dlls (included in the essential codec pack) in the codecs folder

mplayer still can't seek in RealVideo files :(

works fine for me :D

I also had this problem some months ago...
Atm I'm using Fedora core 2, mplayer blabla-pre5 + the essential codec pack and it's working fine

mplayer has always been able to seek in RM files if you specify '-idx'. Since 1.0pre5 (I think) you don't need -idx anymore.

Xine plays too Realmedia in Matroska.

With VLC i have problems to compile it with Matroska support.
