From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RealMedia is a multimedia container format created by RealNetworks. Its extension is ".rm". It is typically used in conjunction with RealVideo and RealAudio and is popular for streaming content over the internet.
Typically these streams are in CBR (constant bit rate).
Recently RealNetworks has developed a new container for VBR (variable bit rate) streams, named RealMedia variable bitrate (RMVB).
Support of RealMedia is available in a wide variety of multimedia players for different architectures/platforms, including RealPlayer.
