Dear /gif/,

How does one convert a .ram or .rm file into a gif?

Realplayer is all about maximising the amount of crap that can be broadcast with less bandwidth in a secured format. Conversion from Realplayer formats back to AVI or GIF is currently not possible. You'd have better luck trying to unshred a document that's been through a really good shredding machine.

this might be possible, actually, but only indirectly. I've seen software that can convert RM/RAM into AVI files, and from there you can dump the raw frames into somewhere for using with GIF.... info later

It may have been possible at the time the tool was written, but it may not necessarily be the case. One of the most annoying things with the companies that make these proprietary media containment formats is the way they change the things are done between versions all too often and suddenly.

Why else do you think the official Realplayer has suddenly become such a sad and bloated overprettified program of late, eh?

This guy is retarded. Definitely Possible.

There is a software called AVOne RM converter, that can convert RM/RAM to AVI or MPEG, take that file and use any tool you like, such as RAD video tools to dump the frames or convert right to GIF. Or you could use Bitsoft 123 Avi to Gif converter, whatev. It's roundabout, but do-able.
