Here is another converting stuff: from Flash (*.swf) to AVI.
All that is need is this tool:
Magic SwfAvi 2.0
http://www.effectmatrix.com/swf2gif/index.htm
There are many other tools but most of them are shareware, putting a big cross and URL on the resulting AVI file if you have not paid.
The rest is easy, locate the *.swf file and convert to AVI.

To convert Real video to WindowsMedia, there are some proposed ways using conversion application such as:
RadTools

Tinra

But none work when I tried with some *.rm files I wanted to convert. Here is the alternative solution I found using GraphEdit which is a part of Microsoft DirectX SDK. Download the necessary DirectShow filters for Real media:
Real Alternative
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm
I used version 1.22 from http://www.codecsdownload.com/cgi-bin/TopDown/download.pl?file=0087.
Then create the graph using GraphEdit, as follows:
0. RealMedia Source –>1 and 2
@device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{765035B3-5944-4A94-806B-20EE3415F26F}
1.RealVideo Decoder–>3
@device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{238D0F23-5DC9-45A6-9BE2-666160C324DD}
2.RealAudio Decoder–>3
@device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{941A4793-A705-4312-8DFC-C11CA05F397E}
3.WM ASF Writer
@device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{7C23220E-55BB-11D3-8B16-00C04FB6BD3D}
This converts my *.rm files to *.asf files, which play normally on WindowsMedia player.
