    Convert it to wmv using video converter. I use axara video converter. It can convert video, edit it, burn and create dvd.

    This is because the real media video/audio codec is not supported by windows media player . You can use third party software to convert it to .avi (as you mentioned, you may already have one).

    But the most important, when you convert the rmvb/rm file to avi, you should choose the output file's video codec as wmv(or something like wmv2) and the audio codec as wma(if it not work, you should try mp2 mp3 etc.). wmv means windows media video codec, wmv means windows media audio codec. If it not work, you should try the codec settings

    You need to have the proper video and sound codecs installed for the video to play properly in a non-native video player. I recommend the K-Lite Codec pack. You can download it here:

    if sound plays for other media files then you dont have the correct codecs. download this codec pack:
