Limits
Starting point: RM - RM is RealNetworks' streaming container pairing RV video with Cook audio. Decoding paths for early Real codecs are scarce; try remuxing first. Interlaced sources may need deinterlacing for clean playback. Encode MPEG (MPEG-2 / MP2) from RM at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
