Real Media to AVI

That shouldn't be a problem - I have Windows ME. It doesn't matter whether your file is .ram or .rm

Type this into 'RUN' on the start menu

c:tinratinra.exe file:whatever.ram whatever.avi

change the 'whatever' to your filename. make sure your Real file is in the same folder as Tinra.

This should work - you need VirtualDub and RealProducer to edit etc.

When I convert my files to .avi format it doesn't convert the sound aswell (the video plays but there is no sound). Can anyone help me??

HELP, still no luck, I must be stupid or something but can u give me step by set instruction please... from when you first un-zip it. Cos i've tried everything i know (not much) and still no joy.... HELP, everyone else's works.... ...---... (SOS)

1. Unzip Tinra into a new file, c:tinra (create it yourself)
2. Move the file you want to convert into the Tinra file and rename it to a short name, i.e. for East Midlands Today, call it EMT
3. On the start menu, click Run and type in the following:

c:tinratinra.exe file:whatever.ram whatever.avi

Change 'whatever' to your filename and if your file is .rm or .ra, change the .ram to the appropriate type.

4. Click OK and the programme should run in DOS. You should get a series of dots counting up. If this happens, you're alright
5. The AVI file will be in the Tinra folder.
6. Open VirtualDub and then I take it you can do it from there!

If not, just let me know!

Almost but one thing, how DO you change .ram to .ra/,rm ????????, Ive got Win ME so ummm yeah....

You don't do anything. When you type it into the Run line, just type in .rm or .ra instead of .ram

Ok tried that, but it just says tinra has cause an iligal operation in tinra, and cloes, it, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG on others it works, EVERYONE ONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

in the dos window that comes up, befro it cloes it self it says loaded RMACORE???????

ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME, I WOULD BE VERY GREATFULL!

Are you sure you are not calling the output file the same as a .avi file that already exists in the Tinra directory.

E.g. Your Tinra folder was C:Tinra
You want to convert a file a.rm to a.avi
Are you sure you haven't got any files the samename as the output file (a.avi for example)?

I hope you can understand this!!

Umm, ok am i doing something wrong this is what is in my run line : C:TinraTINRA.EXE file:spr.ra file:HEO.avi
spr being the bbc world sport ident and HEO being what tinra should call the avi??? is thia all typed right?? the spr file is a .ram thought so umm what should i do (THANK FO THE HELP ROBERT!! )

ok, this is good, i manged to make a avi!!!! but it was 0kb and wont play???? why, it tpye what the file i wanted to convert in and what i wanted it to call it, and it made the new file (break.avi) but it is 0kb and well it a blank file?????????
