Convert RM to MPE

Understanding RM and MPE file formats

RM (RealMedia) is a proprietary multimedia container format developed by RealNetworks. It is primarily used for streaming audio and video content over the internet. RM files are often associated with RealPlayer and can contain both audio and video data, typically compressed using RealAudio and RealVideo codecs.

MPE is a file extension commonly associated with MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) video files. MPE files are essentially MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video files, widely supported by various media players and editing software. They offer better compatibility and quality compared to older formats like RM.
