"OK i although im sure other peole have done this before i still have yet to have seen anywhere online/web where
someone has posted how to do it, BUT i have found a way!!!.

FIRST: you need to download one of those screen capture programs ( i highly recomend snagit) they are mostly free
go to www.downloads.com and type in "screen capture". Make sure the one you get says it can capture video

SECOND: make sure you have the real player (some version) in your system.

THIRD: sound, another story i will get to
in a few moments

FORTH: open the real player, then go under "options", then go under "preferecnes" then click "performance" once
here UNCHECK the box that says " use optimized video display" this will stop real player from using your
graphics hardware to play its images. This way snagit can capture what is shown. Note you may have to restart
your system

FIFTH: open the real file you want, set up the snagit to capture the window, hit record on snagit and hit play on real
once its done you have now made an avi file from a real media file--enjoy!!!

NOTES: make sure you have checked "record with sound" on the snag it. If you do this and you still have no sound
here is what to do, instead of running your output wire to your montors speakers (or whatever speakers you have)
re-route it so it goes out of your system, BUT back into your "mic" input on your PC. and MAKE SURE the
volume is pretty low. what this will do is instead of running the sound out of your system into your speakers, it will
run the sound out of your system, but then back into it via the "mic" input which snagit goes for with sound. i made
it easier by buying 2- dual headphone adapters at radio shack along with a y-cable adapter (for mic/headphone
plugs). This way it splits the sound so i still have my speakers hooked up, but also am able to run the sound into
my mic input at the same time. I hope this helps a lot of you out there who were as frustrated as i was with these
horrible real files. ALSO very special thanks to snagit who emailed me back letting me know to shut the
oprtimized screen off on the real player" (Mazinz)

"Now, I didn't follow it exactly, so here's what worked for me: I use snagit for the screen capture, but the capture w/ sound feature isn't effective at all, so I used total recorder to record the audio. Then I multiplexed the audio and video (be sure the audio and video are in sync). Then use any one of a number of avi2mpeg converters if you want to burn it, or just to get it to mpeg. Hope this helps. If you have any questions, just ask." (AlienZombie)
