OK, I'll confess I'm a bit clueless about this, but does anyone know any free software that will convert RP files to a vcd or even a dvd format that I could use to play in a conventional dvd player?

djk,

Something like:

AVOne - RM to AVI/DVD/VCD/SVCD/MPEG Converter 3.49 (http://www.download.com/AVOne-RM-to-AVI-DVD-VCD-SVCD-MPEG-Converter/3000-2194_4-10309588.html?tag=lst-0-6)

Should do the tick for you. ;)

Take Care,

Richard
