Convert META to MP4

Can you convert META to MP4?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert META to MP4?
No - not a direct conversion.

A .meta is a text pointer with no video inside, so there is nothing to convert. To get an MP4 you must first obtain the actual media it points to (the .rm/.rmvb file or the stream), then convert THAT with VLC/HandBrake. Converting the .meta itself is meaningless.

No direct path
