Conversion of video files

Hi,

searched the threads and found that to convert all avi files to mp4, you would need to use handbrake. What baffles me is that some of the video files that I have is a .rmvb file which opens with real media player and vlc.

However, I am unable to convert on handbrake. Handbrake shows "Source not found" whenever I try to convert. Can anyone advise how to convert or is there a work around solution?

Thanks in advance.
 
I like using VisualHub/iSquint. That might work. You could try to install perian and that possibly might help handbrake/quicktime work with those files.

Thanks. Was using squint too and it does not recognise he files. Handbrake by far is the most comprehensive one so I decided to switch. Will try to install perian and see if it works.

Installed perian. Still does not work.
 
Have you tried WinAvi mpeg4 convertor. I use it for all avi and am sure it does rm too. Good results and fast too. Takes around a quarter of the run time to convert.
 
VLC converts to some formats, but it's a little tricky. It may work as a gobetween tho. You could also look at Replay, but it's not free.
 
RVMB is proprietary. There isn't any conversion software available for it that I know of.

It's a biatch of a format and I thought it was dead.
