The RMS file extension is a generic media format used to secure digital content. RMS is a proprietary file format created by RealNetworks, and is primarily used for streaming multimedia in the .RM format.
Advanced Features
RMS files are created using RealProducer and contain audio and video streams, live commentary feeds, and DRM (Digital Rights Management) Protection. These files are typically stored in an encrypted form, and must be unlocked before playing the file. This allows users to stream protected digital media content without risking piracy. Other advanced features include dynamic switching between different audio and video encodings, time synchronization between various audio and video streams, and support for 3rd party plug-ins which allow additional content to be streamed alongside the main content.
Similar File Extensions
Other popular file formats with similar capabilities include .AVI, .MP4, and .MOV.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RMS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RMS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RMS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RMS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RMS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RMS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RMS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RMS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RMS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RMS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
