There is no simple prog to do this... the easiest way IMO is to get quicktime and register it to get pro, then click export and select .avi
then when its done use STOIK Video Converter to convert to .wmv (search for it its free)

I used TMPGEnc (with quicktime plugin) and made an AVI, then I used MS's WM8 encoding utility for the WMV.

where did u get the quicktime plugin? thx a lot.

My videos came out horrible using TMPGEnc when converted to mpg.

You must not've done it right

Actually your right, I messed around with the framerate and quality setting and they came out much better. So I like everything running at 60 fps, whats so wrong with that heh

well you knwo, those with video vegas will know that you can change mov to avi in about ten-15 seconds. then avi to wmv.

Yes it can , but at the time I didn't have Vegas so I opted for quiktime Pro . It works but Vegas does it all at once ...............Vegas ROCKS !!!!!!!!!! Hands Down.

Bring the file into VV4, then do a "Render As" on the clip.

Tweak your ouput settings a bit, though... and save it as a template for easy access.

Register your copy ($40) and then exit and when you restart it there will be a export option in the file menu!

I have the pro, but when i open a movie and click export, there is no option for .avi, so when i click ok, it just exports another .mov. What am i doing wrong?

Do you have the latest version? 6.1? Ok heres what to do step by step:

1. Download a .mov file (xbox.ign.com is a good place to get these)

2. Open this file with quicktime.

3. Klick File>Export>then at the drop down export menu at the bottom select movie to AVI and leave everything else the same, then click save and you're done!

Thnx for your help, but something still is wrong. I have 6.1 and when i open a vid, click export, the menu only has the filename, save as type, and export with a dropdown menu. The save as type doesnt have any options in it, and the export dropdown only has movie and movie, self contained in it. No .avi anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Hmmm sounds weird to me then... because that is exactly how i do it... Maybe try a uninstall then a new install? Maybe some files didn't get copied origionally for some reason?
My quicktime folder is 2,739,678 bytes see if yours is any smaller!

Weird! mine is only 2,140,459 bytes, hmmm...I'll try a new install, thnx for all your help

Ok, last question, i swear! In STOIK, where it says Windows media profile to write WMV file: at the bottom, what do I put for a descent quality audio and video?
