How to Convert and Burn RMVB Movies to DVD

RMVB, short for RealMedia Variable Bitrate, is a multimedia container format developed by RealNetworks. Files using this format have the file extension ".rmvb". As opposed to the more common RealMedia container (RM), which holds streaming media encoded at a constant bit rate, RMVB is typically used for multimedia content stored locally.

For playback of RMVB video or movie files on PC, the easiest solution is to download and install free RealPlayer developed also by RealNetworks. There are also other apps which could play RMVB files smoothly like MPlayer, VLC and KMPlayer. All you can find and free download on the internet.
