What it is, is a pointer to the streaming location for the file.

ram file, you’d notice that it’s about 59 bytes clearly not enough to be the actual video file. The URLs for those things probably look something like In our scenario, you have a list of 80 or so real media files that you need to convert. Thankfully, there is a better way, and I will lay it out for you. But it’s mostly programs that don’t actually work and forum posts that are no longer relevant or strewn with blocking issues. If you do a little googling on how to convert real video into h.264 mp4, you’ll find lots of programs and forum posts claiming they know to do it. What you really want is that video to exist in an mp4 so you can stream it to a flash player, or eventually use in html5 (once they work that codec stuff out).

So let’s say you have a pile of real media video that was recorded sometime earlier in the decade when real video was still relevant, but you realize any sane person these days doesn’t have RealPlayer installed and can’t view it. First of all, I’d like to apologize to all the people on twitter that follow me and had to endure my ranting about the trials and tribulations of converting real media files: I’m sorry.
