How to Convert RMVB to AVI Files

"How can I play RMVB files?", recently we've noticed a lot of people asking the same question.

What's RMVB?
RealMedia Variable Bitrate (RMVB) is a variable bitrate extension of the RealMedia multimedia container format developed by RealNetworks. As opposed to the more common RealMedia container, which holds streaming media encoded at a constant bitrate (CBR), RMVB is typically used for multimedia content stored locally. Files using this format have the file extension ".rmvb".
RMVB files are extremely popular for distributing Asian content, especially Chinese television episodes and movies. For this reason, they have become noticeably present (though not entirely popular, partly due to their incompatibility with other media players) on file sharing platforms such as BitTorrent, eDonkey and Gnutella.

How can i play RMVB files? On the Windows platform, the proprietary RealPlayer SP and the open-sourced Media Player Classic support RMVB, using an appropriate DirectShow filter or Real Alternative. The format is also supported for playback by the cross-platform VLC media player.

As a matter of fact, RMVB videos are widely available on web, but this video format limits itself because they cannot be played on Apple QuickTime and Windows Media Player, which supports video formats such as AVI, MKV, etc. Hence in order to play RMVB videos on other more popular mobile devices, users need to convert videos in RMVB to AVI format.
