Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RM file?▼
RM (RealMedia) is the streaming audio/video format from RealNetworks, once popular for low-bitrate streaming. It is now deprecated and rarely supported.
Why convert RM to MP4?▼
RealPlayer is essentially defunct and RM barely plays anywhere. Converting to MP4 rescues legacy RealMedia content for modern playback.
Is RM still used?▼
Almost never for new content, but archives of early streaming video often contain RM files. Converting is the best way to keep them usable.
Does converting RM lose quality?▼
A small amount, since RM used old codecs optimized for low bitrates. Converting to H.264 MP4 at a moderate bitrate usually keeps the visible result reasonable.
Are my videos uploaded during conversion?▼
Never — conversion runs locally in your browser.
