Does this convert video formats? I am looking for the best and CHEAPEST software for PC to convert to WMV

Not that I know of. If you're looking for programs to convert videos, try either VLC or iWsoft Free Video Converter (if you haven't already). Of the two, I prefer VLC, but since they're both free, they're worth trying out. A tutorial for how to do this on VLC can be found here: http://www.ehow.com/how_5934797_convert-flv-wmv-using-vlc.html (obviously, the source file can be any file supported by vlc, it doesn't have to be flv).

I do not think so. It did not work for my pc because it dos not work with the new NVidia cards.

Hey guys...I've been using several software to convert DVD movies into mp4 format (compatable to iPod). The best I've found so far is ImTOO DVD Mavie Converter and it's not free but you can look for it by using LimeWire or other like that. This software can even catch the audio from DVD files (excellent if you wanna have mp3s from a DVD Live Concert).I wouldn't recommend RedChair 'cause it messed all the art of my albums' covers... I hated that software.Hope this info is useful for you.

"software" appears to be an OLD windows generic video cam driver from MicroSoft so it might be worth a try to use the one that MS builds for Win 8 instead of the older one that they package with their product?

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

I believe the format Windows Media Center records in is the "WMF" format. The files can be large but are not always the same size for the same amount of time recorded.My full resolution HDTV files typically are about 6 to 10 GB/hr and may be as small as 1 to 2 GB/hr for some recordings. It seems to depend on the broadcast. I typically have files that I want to retain or archive converted to the smaller MP4 format using a tool called MCEBuddy (also does a fair job of stripping out commercial breaks). Doing that also requires installation of a codec package if I recall. Both are free downloads.Archived two hour MP4 movies are typically 2 or 3 GB after conversion.

I'm not sure if it does--but I really don't see why it wouldn't. Even though I'm a Windows kinda guy, I usually just drag-and-drop the video files via USB and import the footage into my editing software from there.

Windows Moviemaker is junk. Toshiba included the wrong version of MediaImpression in my package but ArcSoft upgraded it for free. It is a decent program. I dub most of my videos but my Camileo produces a very low level audio that needs boosting, for which I have used Avidemux. If you choose to dub, I recommend Audacity.

Yes, as a DRIVER for playing a CD it works great...the only issue I have with it is I thought that it would include some built in software that would enable me to copy my Windows Movie Videos I made on Windows 8, and copy them to a CD using this item, and voila, I could play it in a DVD. Shows what I get for thinking. I have to find some kind of software that will convert it from WMV Movie Maker Project to AVI or MP4, something like that. Easier said than done. If you know what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Other people said this was a cheap item, but I didn't see it that way at all. The cord is a little short, so if your tower sits to the side of your computer, you may have to put it up on a couple of books, or a small box to get the height up tall enough to reach your port. Mine are on the front. Good Luck and Merry Christmas

I have only been able to play AVI and MP4 formats. I wish it played Matroska video files. Using a converter like AVS video converter can convert anything!

Tristan is right - WMP is not a great program and certainly no benchmark for the industry or a good indication of whether a format is legitimate or not. VLC is the best, period.

If you are asking about VHS transferred to PC and then make a DVD I have had no luck with the programs they advertise to transfer to the PC. I have a Panasonic VHS copier to DVD which is what is left on the market I used to use Go-Video which was a great machine but they are gone. Then to make DVDs I use AVS programs to convert Blessings, Rita

Hi : I recived no answers to this post from November, however, I did a quick survey of the "Compatible with list". I want to stick with Win XP, so there are not many choices, and the ones I surveyed all looked, well, less easy than my trusty VCR.However, I am ready to look again and share info.Regards

I don't use the software that it comes with, I copy the files to the computer after connecting as an external drive and then edit it using iMovie or Windows Movie, depending on where I download it. It's a gr8 camera for the price and works for all home video scenarios.

Try the free program HDVsplit for importing HD video from your camcoder then you can convert it to wmv high definition by using windows media encoder. However before you use windows media converter you would need to install high definitions codecs using another free program called ffdshow.

Not sure I understand the question. I have no issues with the video it records. The files are AVI type files and all I do is copy them from the SD card to the computer, and play them using Windows Media Player. Have not had to convert the files to any other type of video file type.

Yes and i don't think so but i'm not sure. I convert to AVI files or mpeg mostly.
