Unreal Championship has wmv files as the videos unlike most having bik's or sfd's. Since I only have 650meg CD-RW's, I need to downsample them because the game is 709 meg. I can't find any wmv downsamplers, can anyone help me? And yes I am sure they are wmv's becauase I played them in windows media player.

Try Windows Media Encoder. It's a free download at MS.com.

Okay, the forum software evidently thinks I'm a dumbass and assumed I meant to post a link to Morgan-Stanley instead of MS.
Let's try this... Here


EDIT: Honestly, what the fuck...

It's at m.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t.c.o.m. Fucking find it yourself.

Try MS not MS.

Thanks alot for that Xeero.

WTF....It turns m.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t into MS. Bah!

Thanks for the help.

Looks you fell victim to the same thing I did. You can't type M.i.c.r.o.s.o.f.t without it automatically abreviating it for you.

Ok. I got it now. I did a quick search and can't find any guides to downsampling it to a 'decent' quality. Anyone know how to downsample it do a quality where it is viewable?

I just downloaded to test it out for you. You can enter the exact res and bitrate you want. Not sure what else you're looking for...

Ah, I figured it out now. I wasn't defining an output as a file. One last question, what bitrate and resolution do you recommend to get it down to around half its normal size?

Thanks for your help Xeero.

I have no clue when it comes to this shit. I was never any good at DVD ripping with all the re-encoding and calculations and shit. Blah! Try searching the internet for "wmv" AND "calculator" AND "bitrate" to see if you can find something. I couldn't find any calculators that support the wmv codec.

Ok, thanks alot.
