Can you convert .avi files to .wmv files?

MPower · August 26th, 2004, 11:06 PM

Well can you? And if you can, could you please explain how you do it?

But why would you want to is my question. Unless it's a standard AVI and not a DivX or XivD compressed video, I doubt the filesize will go down without loss of quality.

My thoughts exactly.
Most of the time I do the opposite - convert stupd WMV files over to AVI.

On a similar note, has anyone converted ASF to AVI or MPEG successfully? I've been having a lot of problems trying to get some of the ASF files ripped to a format that can be burned to DVD-video.

For one very good reason, Pocket PCs can not play .avi files... so in order to get the TG episodes that I want onto my PPC, I need to convert it to .wmv.

I used it more than the windows media player for PPC

Problem is that I have PocketPC 2003 SE... so I dont know if they will work for my PPC.

Always use TMPGEnc for my video conversion work. Works a charm.
