Frequently Asked Questions

Not all devices play all kinds of files. Not all devices have the same screen size, processor power, or amount of storage. RealPlayer Converter helps you put your favorite content on your favorite devices.

For example:

You watch a funny clip about a cat on the internet, and you decide to download the file to watch on your iPhone. The file you get is called wakeup.wmv. The picture is the wrong size for the iPhone screen, and you cannot transfer a .wmv file to iPhone.

RealPlayer Converter can convert the file into the proper size and file format, and even add the file to your iTunes library so that it is ready to transfer.

How to convert files

If you use the iPod , iPad, or iPhone device profile, RealPlayer Converter automatically adds the converted files to your iTunes library. Use iTunes to play or transfer the files as usual.

How to convert files

Most cell phone profiles support automatic transfer. Connect your phone to your computer while you are converting. RealPlayer Converter detects your phone and gives you the option to copy the files to your phone.

If RealPlayer Converter does not detect your phone, check the manufacturer's instructions for file transfer.

How to convert files

Connect your device to your computer. RealPlayer Converter can copy files directly to many cell phones and some portable media players.

If you use RealPlayer to manage your MP3 player, RealPlayer Converter automatically adds the converted files to your RealPlayer library. Use RealPlayer to transfer the files as usual.

If you manage your MP3 player with other software, most programs allow you to "Browse," "Import," or "Open Directory" from the File menu. From there you can select your converted files and transfer as usual.

Video conversion is a processor-intensive task. The faster your computer is, the faster the conversion will be. RealPlayer Converter makes full use of systems that have multiple processors or multiple cores, such as Intel Core Duo and Core Quad processors.

Selecting lower quality and resolution settings speeds the conversion process, but may result in a lower quality output file.
