Note that AAC encoding support is external to FFmpeg and must be configured appropriately. Another compatible format that Apple's QuickTime Player can handle is vanilla MPEG. The command line: ffmpeg -i will create a MPEG file with MPEG-1 video and MP2 audio. *** Use this to encode the .rm with your Real Producer..... OR DON'T, as QuickTime is the primary video player of Macintosh computers. No one use any type of RealVideo anymore... this is not the 1990s.
