I use the following to dump the realvideo to a file and
watch it using xine:

mplayer contentsOfSome-ram-File -dumpstream -dumpfile aVideoFile.rm

for instance:

mplayer \
rtsp://rxn-rbn-sea10.rbn.com/farm/*/demnow/demnow/demand/2008/jan/video/dnB20080117a.rm
  \
-dumpstream -dumpfile dnB20080117a.rm

xine dnB20080117a.rm &
