Technical Quality Assessment
Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. OpenEXR Image preserves the full range. RealMedia Video optimizes for typical display capabilities. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the RealMedia Video format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in RealMedia Video are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality OpenEXR Image input produces an excellent RealMedia Video output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality.
Converting a static OpenEXR Image image to RealMedia Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless EXR 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.
