TOD appeared with JVC's HD-capable Everio camcorders around 2006 as the high-definition counterpart to the earlier MOD format, using MPEG-2 Transport Stream rather than Program Stream to accommodate HD bitrates.

RM comes from the same proprietary streaming-media period as RealAudio and RealVideo, when end-to-end delivery systems often revolved around a branded container, player, and server stack.
