About REALMEDIA (.RM)
RM files are RealMedia multimedia container files primarily used for streaming audio and video content over the internet. Developed by RealNetworks in the mid-1990s, they were popular in the early days of online media due to their efficient compression and streaming capabilities.
Technical Details
The RM format supports variable bit rate compression and metadata tags, allowing for synchronized streaming of audio and video streams. It relies on proprietary codecs developed by RealNetworks, which require compatible players like RealPlayer or specific plugins for playback on modern systems.
Additional Information & Use Cases
RealMedia files typically contain audio and video encoded in RealAudio and RealVideo formats, optimized for low-bandwidth connections common at the time of their creation. Despite their decline in popularity with the rise of more versatile formats, RM files played a crucial role in shaping early streaming media technology.
