OT: the movie player and rm/ram files

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

The Linux movie player, mplayer, handles a lot of different
formats, sometimes by handing the task off to other utilities.
mp3 format is an example. But has anyone tried and succeeded to
get mplayer to handle .rm files or .ram files? I know trplayer
works well with those formats, as well as with .ra files, but I
am trying to see how many such file types mplayer can handle.

My realplayer installation is only a partial one, I have the RP8
libraries installed, but not the RP executable, since trplayer
does not require it. My mplayer has all the RP codecs available,
but plays only .ra files and not .rm or .ram files. Before asking
on the mplayer list, I am curious if anyone here has been able to
get mplayer to handle the formats that trplayer/realplayer
usually handle.

Thanks,
Chuck
