I've got this error when opening rmvb file using WinAvi:
----------------------
Information failing!
No usable video stream, please make sure that the Media Player can correctly play both the video and audio of the file!
----------------------
And yes, I can correctly play the file in Real Player 10. Anyone?

Winavi will handle RM files -- This is an RMVB (VB stands for variable bit)
1. Use something like Realaudio-to-Wav Recorder to encode the Real Audio to WAV (PCM/16bit/44.1kHz).
http://www.geocities.com/rawavrecorder/
2. Now use TMPGEnc:
First close wizard, then load in a Template (use Load button - right corner). Choose one that's best for your video - NTSC (29.97 fps), NTSCFilm (23.976 fps) or PAL (25 fps)
Video source: should be - original RMVB file
Audio source: should be - the WAV file that was created.
START to encode.

When trying to load .rmvb file as video source, TMPGEnc says the file cannot open, or is unsupported.

I'm not sure why TMPGEnc still won't load .rmvb file as video source. But I got WinAvi to work properly in converting .rmvb file. Apparently the app cannot load any file whose file name or path includes any unusual character. My file includes some non-english characters, so simply rename file or path and everything works fine.

Good for you, it had to be something simple like that -- Happy burning .. my friend ! You must have the latest Winavi 5.8

hi, Actually, I also ever got the error message just as anada2u mentioned when using winavi. However, after I installed a k-lite codec package http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm , everything works perfectly.
By the way, I also discovered a fact that as long as a file that can be perfectly played by Windows Media Player, Winavi can convert it wonderfully. And what is more, the converting speed is surprisingly fast.

it is faster compared to other media convert applications, but it does consume more resources. something's gotta give.

There seems to be a lot of volatility when converting .rmvb to mpg. After so many days of testing out various programs and conditions, sometimes I still cannot get a particular file converted properly; maybe has something to do with how it was encoded to rmvb in the first place. Solution: I now have a few programs at hand to do the job, in case one doesn't work, I'll try another one. I've got WinAvi, TMPGEnc (coupled with RM_Wav_Converter), RM Converter, and MPEG4 Direct Maker. My pref is MPEG4 Direct Maker; all-in-one converter that screws up rarely.
