.RM File

What is an .RM file?

An .RM file is a Real Media file, a proprietary multimedia container format developed by RealNetworks. It is commonly used to stream audio and video over the Internet, and was particularly popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. RM files can contain audio, video, or both, and are typically encoded with the RealAudio or RealVideo codecs.
