Good question. No clue. You might be able to get WinAvi running using Parallels on mac. Hmm… Good question. No clue.

You might be able to get WinAvi running using Parallels on mac.

So if anyone has any ideas about any program that can do this for a Mac let me know. Thats about the only bad thing i found with the rmvb files, the size is great.

That's why I don't think it is the format of the future. Furthermore, the compression is not lossless which means that while it is good for file sharing movies to watch on your computer, it will never really be used for anything more serious than that. But yes - it's not that bad if you just want to compress the shit out of a movie. :) Yes, the compression rates are good but it is proprietary, nonstandard and unsupported by the most popular media players.

I think it rocks. Such small files and so easily playable on the pc with great quality. All that is needed is Real alternative and mplayer classic. I like ti store my movies and Rmvb is the best option. I never use the official real player. To encode I use Easy Realmedia Producer. I like anything with good quality and high compression. Just recently I the entire futurama into rmvb and it went down from a crazy 12gb to a mere 5.6gb.... Rmvb is for the future. Why r u so critical of rmvb. I think it rocks.

"but apparently RMVB is relatively popular in parts of Europe and Asia. Apparently people in these parts of the world, haven’t figured out that Real is evil and that it smells like ass and cheese." I promise you we know about real and their spyware riden vaporware but im quite impressed with rmvbs' quality:size ratio. "I haven’t figured out how to play these on Linux or Mac yet" Because MPlayer is so obscure? C'mon, anything that supports directshow should be able to handle rmvb, or to quote wikipedia "MPlayer is able to play RMVB files... through the use of WIN32 dlls." It also supports subtitles and lossless audio such as vorbis. play nice! ;] While i would normally agree that ANYTHING that comes out of Real is concentrated evil, i think you’re a bit too critical of rmvb.
