[MPlayer-users] Converting realmedia files?

Hi,

I have downloaded a real video stream with 

mplayer -dumpstream rtsp://...

and got a file stream.dump. mplayer can display the video. 



But when I tried to convert it with mencoder, it failed to detect the 
file format. I then renamed it to stream.dump.rm. No mencoder does
read it, but still prints an error message: 

Input #0, rm, from 'stream.dump.rm':
  Duration: 00:18:05.5, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 189 kb/s
  Stream #0.0: Video: RV40 / 0x30345652, 384x216, 267 kb/s, 12.00
  fps(r)
  Stream #0.1: Audio: cook, 22050 Hz, mono, 32 kb/s
swScaler: Unknown format is not supported as input format




I though mencoder would read the same formats as mplayer, and if
mplayer could play it...


How could I convert this into avi with mencoder?

regards
Hadmut
