RealVideo is a proprietary video format that can’t be easily used with the standard video programs found on a Mac computer or PC. It can only be played using its own desktop video player. Converting RealVideo to the AVI video format makes the file compatible with many more video programs. The process of converting a RealVideo file into an AVI is fairly straightforward and will not harm the original RealVideo file.
