How to Convert RM to WMV for Free
RM, or "Real Media," files contain audio and video data. RM files were created for Real Player. Because RM files are proprietary, they cannot be played in many common media players, including Windows Media Player. WMV files are "Windows Media Video" files and are the proprietary format used with the Windows Media Player. You can convert RM files into WMV files with a free web-based solution.
