Step 3 - Converting to .rm (real media file)

Now your AVI file is ready to be converted to .rm file. So go ahead and start RealProducer Basic which you downloaded from RealProducer site. See the image below:



Now click on Browse and find the AVI file that you just created using Virtualdub.

There are things to be noted while converting a video or audio file to .rm format. For example, the bitrate, video size etc. The higher the bitrate the better the video quality but the bigger the size. Besides, If you intend to stream your file on the internet you must consider that most of the internet users are still using 56k modem so if you choose a higher bitrate they will have problems watching your video. My suggestion would be to choose 56k Dailup by clicking on "Audiences" and choosing 56k Dialup in the left window under Audience Settings (Templates). See the image below:



Leave other setting as they are and close the window. Back in the main window you can choose to enter file information for example Title, Author, Copy Right etc by clicking on Clip Information.

Now the last thing to do is to click on the button Encode to start encoding. Again, depending on your processor it will take a while for the encoding to finish. After some minutes when the encoding is finished you have your .rm file which you can stream on the internet.

Enjoy!
