I want to view RM files on my X5 and have read several threads on this forum that go to great length to cover ways of converting these files to either .avi or mpeg using various utiities.

I've tried a couple of these programs and, whilst they do work, they seem to dramatically increase the size of the video file. I have, for example, a 10MB file that, after conversion, grows to anything from 60Mb to 75MB. This growth is obviously undesirable when working with a piece of kit that has memory limitations (I could only get one file of this size onto my 128MB SD card).

My questions, therefore, are:

1. are there any utilities around that convert the files without any significant increase in file size?

2. I am quite happy to use RealOne, but their Tech Support people say that the X5 is not supported. Does anyone know if any of the various Pocket PC versions of the RealOne player will work on an X5?

Thanks
