Excerpt from Or Botton:
A point regarding .rm: QV will probebly never support it. And for
a good reason. Its a very closed codec and heavily guarded as
"propierty code" by Real Media. They are not intrested to let other,
non Real-Player progams to play .rm files. Personally, I think its
a bad idea and not just because of my personal intrest of using
something else then the horribly designed Real Player, but also
because codecs tend to die out unless they can be used on other
players as well. Thats what a codec is all about, after all.
The only chance I can see is if Real Media also release an .rm
decompressor together with the compressor that they allready allow
for download. Such a program would allow the conversion of a .rm
file to something else... which so far is only a one-way conversion.
(x-to-.rm, and not .rm-to-x.)

I think there was a Linux version of Real Player but don't know if it's still
current.

What DOS software is there to write a CD-R(W), and does it work only on SCSI?
Linux and NetBSD users seem to write CD-R(W)s with ATAPI drives.
Another DOS vs. W9x question: can DOS do anything with USB?
