What Is This Tool?
This tool enables you to convert RMVB video files, which use variable bitrate encoding for better quality, into 7Z archive files. The 7Z format compresses and groups multiple files into a single container, offering high compression rates and secure storage options.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Upload your RMVB file to the converter interface
-
Select 7Z as the output archive format
-
Optionally choose compression level and encryption settings
-
Click the convert button to start archiving your video file
-
Download the resulting 7Z archive for storage or sharing
Key Features
-
Converts RMVB video files into 7Z compressed archives
-
Supports advanced LZMA/LZMA2 compression algorithms for efficient file size reduction
-
Creates archives that can include multiple files and directories
-
Offers secure AES-256 encryption for protecting archived contents
-
Enables creation of multi-volume archives for easier file distribution
-
Uses an open format supported by free cross-platform tools like 7-Zip
Examples
-
Compress an RMVB episode of a TV show into a 7Z archive to save disk space and preserve it safely
-
Create a multi-volume 7Z archive from a large RMVB video file to transfer it across multiple storage media
Common Use Cases
-
Archiving RMVB video collections for long-term storage with reduced size
-
Distributing RMVB videos bundled inside highly compressed 7Z files to minimize download times
-
Securing RMVB files by encrypting them within 7Z archives for privacy
-
Splitting large RMVB video files into multi-volume archives for easy transport or backup
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use high compression settings in 7Z for maximum size reduction, especially with similar files
-
Employ AES-256 encryption if you need to protect your archived RMVB videos
-
Test the archived 7Z files with your extraction software for compatibility before deleting originals
-
Consider splitting large files into volumes to manage storage or transfer limitations
Limitations
-
RMVB is a proprietary and outdated video format with lossy codecs inferior to modern alternatives
-
7Z archives require third-party tools like 7-Zip for extraction on many systems
-
Solid compression used in 7Z archives can make extracting individual files slower
-
Compression and decompression processes can be resource-intensive on low-powered devices
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert RMVB files to 7Z archives?
-
Converting RMVB files to 7Z archives helps reduce file size for storage or sharing, and supports encrypting and bundling multiple files together.
-
Can I play RMVB videos directly from a 7Z archive?
-
No, 7Z archives are compressed containers. You need to extract the RMVB file before playing it in a compatible media player.
-
Are 7Z archives supported on all operating systems by default?
-
No, most systems require third-party software like 7-Zip to open 7Z archives since native support is limited.
Key Terminology

RealMedia Variable Bitrate is a video container format that uses variable bitrate for improved quality-to-size ratio in videos.
-
7Z
-
An open archive format developed by 7-Zip that supports strong compression and encryption for multiple files and folders.
-
LZMA
-
A compression algorithm known for high compression ratio and efficiency commonly used in 7Z archives.
