RMVB is a multimedia format developed by RealNetworks, the makers of RealPlayer. Unlike the more common RM format, RMVB works with a variable bitrate as opposed to a constant bitrate, hence the title RMVB (RealMedia Variable Bitrate). The format is popularly used on torrent sites to distribute TV shows specially ones coming out of China.

A file with an RMVB extension can be played on Windows by video players such as  VLC and RealPlayer and on the Linux platform players like MPlayer and totem can easily play the RMVB files. If your goal is to take an RMVB file and make it into a DVD or convert it into a VOB file, WinX DVD Author is an excellent freeware for that purpose. If you want to convert RMVB to the easily playable FLV format, you can use a software like SuperAVConvertor to do that.

RMVB as a format is not as popular as some other ones  and many media players don’t support it, therefore, many people don’t recommend using this format if the intention is to mass distribute the content through a website or disc.

Late last year, I spotted a deal that I couldn’t turn down. I was able to buy a Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4G player for about $30 USD. When these were first released in 2008, they were over double that price. I already had an iPod Nano, but I wanted video and photos, and the price of the iPod Touch was over my playtime budget.

If you aren’t familiar with the Fuze, here’s some info from Google Products:

Listen, watch and play all day with 24 hours of battery life and room for up to 2000 songs. The Sansa Fuze from SanDisk is your portable music machine with 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of storage. Watch your favorite video clips on the Sansa Fuze’s 1.9″ color screen. Jam to FM radio with 40 preset stations, play with the built-in voice recorder, and share your photos wherever you go. Choose from five electric colors: blue, red, pink, black or silver. Incredible battery life in a 0.3″ thin device – the Sansa Fuze marks the next wave of music and video players.

In the past few months, I’ve enjoyed using it at work and play, but there are two things that I definitely don’t like about the Fuze. First, they used a proprietary connector, instead of using a mini-USB. Secondly, they force you to convert all your videos to a weird AVI format, which can only be created by their special Sansa Media Converter (Windows only).

There isn’t much that I could do about the connector, but I’ve finally found an excellent alternative to the Sansa converter, called Video4Fuze. It is supported in Windows, Linux and Mac OSX, unlike Sansa’s lame converter. Now converting full length DVDs for use on my Fuze is as simple as creating an AVI file, then converting it with Video4Fuze. If you are a big fan of downloading Youtube video, the Video4Fuze utility also converts FLV and MP4 videos with no problem.
