Drat. Tried to convert this, but I just get a dialog that says
"convert only works from a local file." I don't see an option to pull
the actual video file down, and IIRC .ram files are like trackers that
point at a stream rather than being the actual video data? I have a
feeling that the reason I'm unable to do this is by design, but I'm
not certain.
IIRC, "ram" files are typically just URLs in plain-text, and the type of
contained URL is what determines what one can do with it.
looking into ram file:
it links to an "smil" file.

so, here are the video streams:
rtsp://stream.hpi.uni-potsdam.de:554/Archive/HPIK_SS11/HPIK_2011_07_21_01_STREAM_video.rm
rtsp://stream.hpi.uni-potsdam.de:554/Archive/HPIK_SS11/HPIK_2011_07_21_01_STREAM_desktop.rm
sadly, IIRC there is no good/direct way to download RTSP streams, but if
one could, they would likely have 2 video streams.
