Agree with Pearson about Helix Producer. But I've got a friend who is using OOS Video Converter to make .rmvb file and it's faster compare to Real Helix Producer. I've heared that RealProducer uses 20 mins to encode 1 minute of movie and OOS uses 1.5 min to convert 1 min... Maybe you can try to compare both programs and let us know the result...

The .rmvb file is smaller (~50%) than divx and has comparable quality. Maybe because it's "Real" (another evil empire ;) format, so no one wants to use it. I use real alternative, so it's all cool...
