About RMI files
The .rmi extension represents a frustrating collision between two legacy formats: the RIFF-based MIDI audio file and the Raysharp DVR video file.
- RIFF MIDI (RMID): Historically used by Microsoft Windows, this format wraps a standard MID sequence inside a RIFF container. While technically audio, most modern media players (and even web browsers) treat the RIFF wrapper as corruption, refusing to play the music inside. It is effectively a "locked" MIDI file that requires specific codecs from the Windows 95 era.
- DVR Video: Often generated by security systems like those from Raysharp, this version acts as an index or raw stream container for CCTV footage. These files are notoriously difficult to view because they lack standard video headers found in MP4 or AVI files, often requiring proprietary viewing software to interpret the time-stamped video data.
Best Conversion Targets:
- For Audio (Music/Ringtones): Convert to MP3 or WAV for universal playback on smartphones and standard media players. If you need the notation data, convert to standard MID.
- For Video (CCTV): Convert to MP4 (H.264) to ensure the footage can be viewed in standard players like VLC media player or shared via email/web without specialized software.
- For Archiving: Use FLAC for audio to preserve quality without the obsolete RIFF container.

The RMI Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our RMI converter.
