How might one convert Real Media to Quicktime video, on a Mac?
Second vote for Snapz Pro.

Is there an open source solution? Can you get Totem or one of those Unix players to do it without shelliing out $69 for Snapz?

Response by poster: Does mplayer support real? I thought that it was mostly winstuff, depending on your codecs.

Recent versions of mplayer/mencoder, I have heard, support Real formats through libraries from Helix, Real's open-source analogue.
Someone who can explain further, please fill in the details?

What I would do (And a cheaper option) is get Snapz Pro. Play the realplayer video and basically do a movie capture using the Snapz Pro video capture settings which will save to quicktime by default. Again, you can test this out with their trial version first to see if it works.
