I have a number of old crusty Real Media files I need to convert and was hoping to write a script to batch process them. I'm able to do a Real Media -> AVI conversion with FFMpegX, but when I try to replicate the conversion with ffmpeg, it always errors out with something like:
[avi @ 0x10084fa00] Too large number of skipped frames 117425 > 60000
It may have something to do with the funky format of these Real Media files:

Does anyone have any tips on either how to find out what FFMpegX is doing to make the conversion work, or a better way to go about using ffmpeg to do this?
EDIT
Including the ffmpeg command (thank you to @Mondain for teaching me about the stream mapping!) and output:

Output file is empty, nothing was encoded (check -ss / -t / -frames parameters if used)
It would appear that your file contains several streams and when working with ffmpeg, you will need to select the ones you want to convert. One would assume that you want an Audio / Video pair at the highest quality within the file. Here is how you use the "map" option to target streams: http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/How%20to%20use%20-map%20option
If I had this file I would use this command:
ffmpeg -i [real-input-file] \
-map 0:8 -map 0:7 \
-c:v libx264 \
-c:a libfaac -b:a 32k \
output.mkv
