If you have some RMVB files and want to play them on the DVD player, Then you need to convert the RMVB format to AVI.

Currently, I found out two methods to do this.

The first method is from this article: “How to Convert RMVB“. This method requires you install/download several pieces of software to do this. It’s a bit troublesome, but the article provides very detailed step-by-step instructions and it works.

The other method is to use the open source software alltoavi. It’s quite straight forward to use this software to convert RMVB. And it seems that this method takes less time to do the conversion compared with the first method.

The above two methods both use free software to accomplish the task. There are of course other software that can do this task and they may allow you to have better control for the conversion. Well, you have to pay for it.
