Anyone know where i can get a converter for .rm files? I tried the one on rmconverter.com, and A: it wouldn't work and b; it would leave a watermark on every frame...

Anyone know of working ones? I can watch the movie in Irfanview, but there's no way to convert it...

There is only one other convertor to my knowledge and it's called TINRA. It also does not work :(
It works essentially by frame-grabbing, which is a stupid way to convert 'em.

I usually got around it by avoiding .RM (And to a lessor extent .WMV and .MOV for that matter) like the evil propriatory plagues they are.

If that wasn't an option, I would use the K-Lite Codec Pack (RM and QuickTime codecs without the crap that comes with RealPlayer and Quicktime!), to watch them using Media Player Classic (Very cool app) but the website for the K-Lite has become Evil.

Where the codec was free to download, you now have to freakin' register. Given K-Lite's links with Kazaa, this probably will net you a small mountain of spam...

Here's the website for reference: http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/

I'm currently trying to find 'Alternative sources' for the codec packs (Called 'Real Alternative' and 'QuickTime Alternative' ;))
