Matroska RM Conversion

[rsquirell]

ChristianHJ said installing his Matroska Full Pack would enable you to convert Real Media using TMPGenc. I ran across 6 .ra and .ram files...so I thought I'd try it. After installing the pack and Real Basic I opened the files in TMPGenc...it accepted 3 of them. It took TMPGenc's usual slow processing speed...but I was able to clip file and get rid of the raggity edges...and preview the clip in source range to see if it was worth the effort. The 3 files that TMPGenc refused were converted using TINRA...and when viewed in BSPlayer they were very pixcellated. I ran them thru VirtualDub and cleaned them up...and then processed them in TMPGenc...and they came out smooth and stellar. I assume TMPGenc wouldn't originally accept them because of their pixcellated state. Anyway...Matroska worked. Good job, ChristianHJ.

Help!

Rsquirell,

I have installed Matroska Full Pack and Tmpgenc can bring the .rm files into itself, processes and then says there is a .dll error. The resulting file plays the first second of video and then freezes the image whilst the audio plays fine.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Hmmm...all the .rm files TMPGenc accepted were decoded fine...it didn't accept a couple, and TINRA (freeware found on this site) converted them...but they were corrupt (very pixcellated.) VirtualDub cleaned it up (by checking for video errors) and TMPGenc smoothed it out as a MPEG2. Don't know what your .dll error is...see if TINRA does the job...and if it pixcellates.

Hi,

All I get with TINRA is the audio, and three small squares at the bottom left hand corner of the screen!

EO is the only other tool I know that'll convert RM files....you can get a 30 day trial version. If that doesn't work, I believe we can safely say the file is corrupt.
