Is there anyway to convert .rm to .flv using terminal? Because .rm file is not running in Mplayer in my Ubuntu 12.04.

  • MPlayer should be able to play all Real Media files so this is a little odd. Could you run the file from the commandline with MPlayer and post the full terminal output here? – andrew.46 May 21 '14 at 00:20

Easiest is with avconv (and no special options): 

avconv -i samplevideo.rm samplevideo.flv

(in case someone suggests ffmpeg: Is FFmpeg missing from the official repositories in 14.04? )

Installation of avconv:

sudo apt-get install libav-tools

For all your GUI users (yeah you!):

You can use ffmpeg :

ffmpeg -i file.rm file.flv
