<![CDATA[Rmvb extension]]>Hi folks

I'm a PC user and I just downloaded a file with rmvb extension
What is the appropriate media player for this?

Also, ZACK attack mp4 is severely damaged to play, please delete for the sake of sanity of
people who'd want to watch

Though, it's a given that AVI files generally use open source and popular codecs like Xvid, which before x264 was about the best you could get for net downloads.

Real software is closed source and commercial. I think Real are more concerned with spyware and sales than actually creating a decent codec. No wonder they constantly update….

It's still the same, you don't get the horrible fuzziness with avi files that you do with rmvb files.

Rmvb sucks. The quality is much lower than standard avi format.

To be a pedant, avi is just the container and not the compressor. 😇 😉

The rmvb extension is one of the newer formats for Realmedia player. The files can be viewed with newer versions of Realmedia Player, downloaded for free from www.real.com/realplayer.html
