    Hello guys,

    I'm just wondering if anyone has a link or the name of a free program that allows me to convert videos from Real Videos to Windows Media player videos. I've downloaded two so far and they are all leaving watermarks down the centre of the screen. My real player has gotten completely messed up and doesnt work, but i think all the videos i have are still ok but they wont play if i try to just open them in windows player. I've uninstalled Real twice and re-installed it as many times and it still aint work, prefer the windows player aswell anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated.

    What do you mean burn videos? do you mean convert it into dvd? or do you mean burn them as data files? Real aletnative only allows you to wach real fils but you can use other software to burn dvds

    I want to burn them onto dvd's so that i can watch them on my tv. How can i do that? I'm a bit of a mongo so if you could explain it me or direct me to a guide i'd be grateful! Only two things that are important are that the software is free and that it wont leave those watermarks on the video

    That's not what you asked in the first post.. Real to .wmv, now DVD.

    Anyway, give WinFF a go. Free and safe. No piracy required.

    Convert anything to anything. (more or less)

    http://winff.org/

    Make an effort to read the FAQ's and HOWTO's before saying it doesn't work..

    Just to say, you should really think about avoiding Real Media formats. No excuse in 2009 for using that cack.

    I've downloaded it and it has been converting it a form that i can watch on my windows media player. But when i burn it to dvd i cant watch it on my dvd player. Am i doing something wrong? I'm using the windows burn option as i've never burned a dvd before. Should i be using a different program

    Yes it can, checked it there, needs a support dll it says so you may need to download one from the convertx site or maybe all it needs is real player installed,
