RealNetworks, an internet streaming Media Company, is credited as the developers and owners of the proprietary RealMedia multimedia container format. The filename extension .rm refers to this format which is used as an audio and video wrapper to distribute digital media content over the internet. The first version of this container was released in 1997 and has been popularized for its ability to unpack the digital stream while it is being downloaded over computer networks such as the internet. The format is platform agnostic and works equally well on Microsoft Windows as it does on Linux or Mac OS.
First released in 1995 and developed by the Fraunhofer Society, the mp3 audio format is arguably one of the most recognizable audio file format that ever existed. This digital audio encoding format hails from the lossy data compression algorithm family. The format enjoys widespread support and compatibility with most handheld music players, smartphones, computers, and in car stereos most of which have native support for the format. It is also a popular format used for distribution of audio files over computer networks such as the internet. Free mp3 encoders such as LAME and audacity give authors the tools necessary to create .mp3 files.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for RM to MP3 conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload RM files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized MP3 results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent MP3 audio with dependable progress tracking.
Unlike RealMedia variable bitrate format, the RealMedia container format encodes streaming media at a constant bitrate. .rm files use proprietary video and audio compression encoding formats from the RealVideo and RealAudio suite of compression formats. Video stream encoding was upon its initial release based upon the H.263 compression format.
The MP3 format compression algorithm works through perceptual coding. A technique in which audio artifacts outside the auditory range of the average human, are reduced or 'cancelled out'. The result is a near perfect replication of the original audio sample at a compression ratio of 11 to 1 at 128 kilobits per second. Audio quality can be controlled by such factors as the bit rate, sample rate, among other features. But bits rates being the main determinant of audio quality can be adjusted between the typical range from 128 kb/s to as high as 320kb/s.
