How to Convert Real Media Files to WAV on Mac

by Art Corvelay

Overview

Many file-conversion software applications are Windows-based, leaving Mac users to search for alternate ways to convert files. One solution is to use a web-based application. Some of the files that websites can convert are Real Media, which is a proprietary file type produced for the Real Player, and WAV, which is a Windows Audio file.

Step 1

Open your web browser and navigate to the Media Convert website.
Step 2

Import the Real Media file you want to convert. These files can include Real Audio (.ra, .ram) and Real Video (.rm). Click the "Browse" button to import the file.
Step 3

Choose an output file format from the drop-down menu. Under the "Sound" category, choose "WAV."
Step 4

Click "OK" directly to the right of the output drop-down menu. This will start the conversion process.
Step 5

Download the converted file from the link that appears after the file conversion has completed.
