Core Audio Format's known limitation — Apple-exclusive with very limited cross-platform support — is resolved when converting to RealMedia Video, which offers pioneered internet video streaming in the late 1990s. The Core Audio Format source uses lossless encoding. The RealMedia Video output uses lossy encoding. This difference in compression approach means Xonvert carefully manages the transition to preserve maximum fidelity. Xonvert's conversion engine analyzes your Core Audio Format source and selects the optimal encoding strategy for RealMedia Video output. Developed for Core Audio framework on macOS and iOS RealPlayer was once installed on 85% of internet PCs These implementation details are handled automatically by the converter.

Converting Core Audio Format audio to RealMedia Video video creates a video file with a static visual (typically a black frame or waveform visualization) and your audio track. This is commonly used for uploading music to video-only platforms like YouTube, creating visualizer content, or embedding audio in video projects.

Compression trade-off: Your lossless CAF source retains all original data. Converting to lossy RM will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
