RealProducer is installed with utilities that allow you to use the command line to modify streaming media files (.rm files). You run these utilities through the MS-DOS prompt.
The following programs are available to you:
RMEditor allows you to modify a previously created .rm file by changing clip information, recording and downloading options, and clip length.
The default main directory is c:\Program Files\Real\Producer.
input.rm
is the name of the input file, output.rm
is the name of the output file, and <switches> are the editing switches you specify. See the table below for more details on all necessary switches.
The following table describes each switch that you can use on the command line.
The following example allows you to view the current title, author, copyright, comments, mobile playback and selective record settings:
rmeditor -i input.rm
The following example changes the title of input.rm
to "New Title" and saves the file as output.rm
:
rmeditor -i input.rm -t "New Title" -o output.rm
The following example disables the selective record option and saves the file as output.rm
:
rmeditor -i input.rm -r 0 output.rm
The following example trims both the beginning and end of input.rm
and saves the result as output.rm
:
rmeditor -i input.rm -s 0:0:3:2.20 -e 0:0:4:2.20 -o output.rm
![]() |

The start and end times will be adjusted in video clips so that the clip starts and ends on keyframes. |
The following example pastes several .rm files together into one output file:
rmeditor -i input1.rm -i input2.rm -i input3.rm -o output.rm
![]() |

If more than one input file is specified, any start and end time arguments will be ignored. |
RMEvents allows you to merge events and image map text files to an .rm file. Events and image map text files are created using a text editor. Refer to the RealSystem G2 Production Guide for more information. RMEvents also allows the user to extract events and image maps from a .rm file into a text file, so they may be edited using any text editor.
The default main directory is c:\Program Files\Real\Producer.
input.rm
is the name of the input file, output.rm
is the name of the output file, and <switches> are the events switches you specify. See the table below for more details on all necessary switches.
The following table describes each switch that you can use on the command line.
The following example merges an event text file with a .rm file:
rmevents -i input.rm -e events.txt -o output.rm
The following example merges an image map text file with a .rm file:
rmevents -i input.rm -m image.txt -o output.rm
The following example dumps image maps and events from the input file into files named input_imap.txt
and input_evt.txt
, respectively:
rmevents -i input.rm -d input
