How to Convert an RMVB to a VCD
RMVB stands for Real Media Variable Bit Rate. The compression that is done in RMVB files is dependent upon the type of video file being compressed, which allows for higher quality video in smaller file sizes. It is possible to burn an RMVB video file to VCD, but most DVD-burning softwares cannot read the RMVB file type, so before burning the file to disc, the file must first be converted from RMVB to MPEG.
