Convert Files to RMVB or From RMVB Online

What is RMVB Format?

RealMedia Variable Bitrate (RMVB) is a variant of the older RealMedia (RM) video format. It was designed by RealNetworks to store videos encoded with a variable bitrate rather than a fixed one. This means the bitrate varies depending on the complexity of the scene: Simple scenes take up less data, while fast-moving or detailed scenes use more. Therefore, the RMVB files are usually smaller in size while keeping relatively good quality. Despite being outdated, they were very popular in the early 2000s for sharing movies and TV dramas online.

Frequently Asked Questions

RMVB is the extension of the old RM video format created by RealNetworks. It was designed to be smaller in size while keeping decent quality. In the early 2000s, people widely used it to distribute movies and TV episodes online.

Many modern players and devices don’t natively support RMVB files. The easiest option to open an RMVB file is VLC Media Player. It’s compatible with both Mac and Windows. Other players like KMPlayer and PotPlay can handle RMVB formats as well. If your default player doesn’t recognize the file, the best solution is to convert it into MP4 or other more common formats that play smoothly on almost any device.

Yes, sometimes. This is because RMVB was designed to keep file sizes small by using heavy compression, while formats like MP4 or AVI may store the same video with less compression. The exact size depends on the output format and settings, but you’ll often notice a bigger file after converting RMVB files.
