How to Convert RM, RAM to MP3 [Mac]
Us Mac people (me and my brother, at least) have had a really hard time trying to find a program that would simply convert Real Player audio and video files into mp3 or whatever. No succes. I even found programs that claim to convert every kind of format that you haven’t even heard of yet but still say that rm, ram and a couple of other formats are not supported.
Finally, I found a solution. It’s not a specific program. It’s just playing moving around some files that are already on the computer (assuming you already have Real Player and ffmpegX). It’s completely simple, “even a caveman can do it.”

I tried this method long ago and it worked fine but suddenly it went crazy and everything I play/convert goes supersonic, both music and video play rapidly fast! And till this day I couldn’t figure out how to solve this. :/

maybe you updated real player or ffmpegX but didnt replace those 14 real player files you had to copy to the ffmpegX folder?

I followed the instructions religouslly, and all I got was an error message ” conversion failed”
Help please.
Thanks all.
