I have a bunch of WMV video files, and I need to convert them to other formats (e.g. AVI, MOV, etc). Does anyone have a suggestion of a good utility (preferably free) that'll handle it?

TIA

Or try VirtualDub with ASF support. No trial version to bother with, it's a free download.

Here's a few links that may be helpful. I installed Media Coder a while back, in an attempt to convert google vids from .gvi to .mpg.

Media Coder should enable you to convert .wmv to any number of formats.

Media Coder information -

Here is one I haven't downloaded, but it might have some good possibilities -

Today I have been playing around with Media Coder and managed to convert wmv to mpg (my favourite). It is a relatively simple task. Just make sure you use the xvid codec within an mpeg container, and set the bitrate to the highest possible level. I use an older version of Media Coder, as the newer versions suck ass.

In your case, jayo, just use the xvid codec within an avi container.

The version I use can be found here -

Thanks for that link. That is exactly the type of program I am looking for, if it does what it claims to do. Unfortunately, it aint freeware, so I won't be downloading it.

I have been using 4 different versions of Nero 6 to create SVCDs from wmv files for a few years now. It works perfectly. Problem is, it is only compatible with CD, not DVD.

I installed two versions of Nero 7, including version 7.5, which I believe is their latest one. Both versions failed to let me burn a SVCD. In my opinion Nero 7 is crap. That's why I use Nero 6.

Absofuckinglutely!

Nero 7 sucks; Nero 6 works!

P.S. Don't even think of installing the free extra content and templates package for NeroVision (one of the applications you get with Nero... the one where you create your own movies). It has screwed-up every single version of NeroVision I have ever attempted to use it with, on every computer, every time. You have been warned :)
