>From the FFmpeg docs:
Apple QuickTime Player
The following command lines produced QuickTime files that were
playable with Apple QuickTime Player v6.5.2:
* ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> <file.mov>
* ffmpeg -i <inputfile.ext> <file.mp4>
These command lines will produce MPEG-4 QuickTime files with ISO
MPEG-4 video and AAC audio. 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 <inputfile.ext> <file.mpg>
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.
