Playing .RM & .RMVB files on x50v

Hagow · 12-27-04, 11:48 PM

I know that .rm and .rmvb files are not popular in the States or Canada, but they are actually very popular format in China and Hong Kong. Being chinese myself I have so many of these file formats, and was wondering what it would take to play these files? I tried using Beta Player (The BEST player ever!) but it doesn't work. I am just curious is there a plugin that will make Beta Player play these files? If not how hard would it be to do such a thing? I can't be the only one that wants to play .rm and .rmvb files.

Thanks

RealPlayer Mobile plays RM files fine but not RMVB files, though I'm not sure it works well or even at all with the X50v.

About RM and RMVB, I have absolutely no idea why the Chinese are so stuck on this format cause from what I've seen of their encodes it's nothing special and as you can now see very restricted.

real player mobile is very limited. it can't handle high-bitrate (> 400kbps) video. it's pretty much useless. get real alternative and convert your rm/rmvb to wmv instead.

Honestly, you're probably better off finding something to convert them. I unfortunatly am no help there :(

edit: wow I should read the thread, didnt know RA could do that. Thanks aximrocks!

Thanks for the recommendations, I am converting them in mpeg1 files atm with EO Video...I just wanted to skip this step.
