- RealMedia container metadata is not preserved; only the source's video and audio content carries over.
Frequently asked questions
What quality results from RM to DivX?
The RealVideo stream is re-encoded into DivX (MPEG-4) inside an AVI-based container, which is a lossy step whose quality depends on the bitrate. It will not improve on the aging RealMedia source.
Why convert RM to DivX?
RM is a legacy RealNetworks format with limited device support, while DivX plays on many DivX Certified TVs and standalone players directly from a USB drive. Converting makes an old clip playable on that kind of hardware.
Where does a DivX file open?
VLC opens DivX on all platforms, the official DivX Player supports it, and many DivX Certified TVs play it from USB. Modern browsers generally will not play it directly.
What is lost in this conversion?
The video and audio are re-encoded rather than copied, so there is a lossy generational step, and RealMedia-specific container data does not carry over. DivX can hold multiple audio tracks, subtitles and chapters, but only what is present in the source transfers.
