Convert Wmv To Avi


deadlychicken22

Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal
I have some videos on my computer that are in WMV format and I would like to play them on my gp2x. The gp2x currently does not support WMV so I first need to convert them to avi. I have quite a few video encoding programs but I couldn't find one that could handle WMV. What is a good FREE* video encoder/converter that can do this? It would be good if it could encode it to xvid.

*as in, truly free, and no requests to upgrade to the "pro" version

Thanks,

Try a combination of SUPER (Simplified Universal Player Encoder and Renderer) and Virtual Dub. I think WMV support in SUPER is in its infancy, and I never tried it, but it's there.

Avisynth+Virtualdub=your friend.

Seriously, why pay for software when there is always a free version somewhere....

mencoder, convert anything to evrything!
Is that true?
Pretty much. Mencoder is based around ffmpeg, and ffmpeg has an enormous compatibility list.
