What is RL2 ?

RL2 is a full-motion video format from 1990s PC games, used for intros and cut-scenes. Its frames are low-resolution, 256-colour images compressed with run-length encoding, usually with a soundtrack alongside. Today almost nothing plays it except software built on the FFmpeg libraries.

Why Convert RL2 files?

RL2 is the cut-scene and intro video format of a generation of 1990s CD-ROM games, made to be played only by the game itself. Now that those games no longer run easily, their videos are stranded: phones, browsers and ordinary media players will not open an RL2 file.

Converting to MP4 or another current format gets the footage playing anywhere, with its soundtrack. The clips stay as they were made — low resolution in a 256-colour palette — since the conversion reproduces them faithfully rather than sharpening or upscaling them.
