is there anything to convert ms proprietary format to xvid, divx, avi ?
i think virtualdub could, but ms asked them to drop that... and i couldnt
find a working version of that old release of vdub.

thanks, j.

Go here:

http://www.videohelp.com/convert

and and under "Format Conversion" do "WMV to AVI." I think you might find
one or two free tools.

There is no link there for WMV to divx conversion, only a link for
conversion without reencoding using ASFTools.
The old version of Virtualdub (1.3c and lower)does not accept WMV/ASF with
the WMV codecs.

AFAIK, the only freeware that can do this is TMPGenc.

in videhelp -- wmv2avi, all archives -- there's a page explaining
"How to Convert WMV8 and WMV9 to other formats the BEST way"

following it i downloaded wme from ms and converted the wmv to a fixed
framerate wmv -- but vdub 1.3c gives an error when opening it. anyway the
converted file is 19mb, compared to the 33mb of the source (a home movie
about an ill labrador). i think it can be shrinked to 3-4 megs.

i'd also tried with asftools, but it'd give an error too.

i'll try again with different wme options, and will try tmpgenc as well.

But he CAN go from WMV to AVI using freeware. See the OP.
