# Image::ExifTool::Real(3pm)

Read Real audio/video meta information

## NAME

Image::ExifTool::Real - Read Real audio/video meta information

## SYNOPSIS

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

## DESCRIPTION

This module contains the routines required by Image::ExifTool to read meta information in RealAudio (RA), RealMedia (RM, RV and RMVB) and RealMedia Metafile (RAM and RPM) files.

## NOTES

There must be a bug in the software that wrote the Metadata used in the test file t/images/Real.rm because the TrackLyricsDataSize word is written little-endian, but the Real format is big-endian.
