Hi,

Google is your friend: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=reference+manager+to+bibtex

The first result from the above google search is JabRef
(http://jabref.sourceforge.net/) that probably does what you want. I
tested JabRef (web start version) with some examples given here:
http://www.refman.com/support/risformat_intro.asp and it could export
those files in BibTeX (.bib) format.

Also, please check the TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq, before
asking your questions:

HTH,

Senthil
