AVS Video Converter is the best! \n\nIt supports virtually all video formats, including MPEG-4 h,264 and WMV:\n- Video: AVI, DivX, XviD (*.avi, *.divx, *.div), MPEG-4, H.264 (*.mp4, *.m4v), MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (*.mpeg, *.mpg, *.m1v, *.m2v, *.dat, *.mpe), DVD (*.ifo, *.vob, *.vro), DV AVI (*.avi, *.dv, *.dif), Quick Time (*.mov, *.qt), WMV, WMV-HD (*.wmv, *.asf), 3GPP, H.263 (*.3gp, *.3g2, *.3gpp, *.3gp2), Real Video (*.rm, *.rmvb), SWF (*.swf), DVR-MS (*.dvr-ms).\n\nAnd it is not just a video converter. You will be surprised at how many features are hidden under its simple interface.

You make them into MP4s. There are quite a number of MPEG to MP4 converters around. Try http://www.imtoo.com

Upgrade your Windows Media player. Chances are that the WMV file you're tring to view was encoded using a newer codec.

Divx with the required codecs is very good.\n\nhttp://www.divx.com

I have done the same thing. What you do is open that movie with the movie maker. click on FILE, SAVE MOVIE FILE, and then this movie saveing wizard comes up. just click on WMV when it asks you for the format. That should be it.

One of the tools you can use for conversion to avi is asftools (you can find it at geocities.com/myasftools). The results from it are usually mixed. It’s mostly codec dependent. If your wmv file uses one of the older asf codecs (MS-MPEG 4 v1, 2, or 3, Duck TrueMotion, Vivo H.263, VDOWave, MS H.263, or ClearVideo) then it will probably work. If the wmv file uses one of the more modern codecs like windows media video 7, 8, or 9, or windows media screen 7 or 9, it’s unlikely to work (I’ve had a few work with wmv 7, but I could only play the avi in windows media player 9, not 6.4!) \nFor conversion to mpeg use tmpgenc (the free version is at tmpgenc.net, not .com). You will need to make minor modification for tmpgenc to be able to read wmv files: go to options, then click environmental settings. then on the vfapi plugin tab right click 'directshow multimedia file reader' and choose higher priority. set the priority to 4 or something.

It can convert wmv files to avi and mpg with stunning video and audio quality. Most of all, the converting speed is amazingly fast. \n\nThere’s probably other tools out there; to find them just keep googling
