I need a free converter to make an AVI to ASF/WMV. The movies are too big right now to stream over the web (10MB each). Any suggestions?

try looking around through this list: http://www.downseek.com/directory/65.asp

Some are freeware some are shareware, but there's gotta be one that does the job. I usually use TMPEG ENC Xpress which is the version of TMPEG ENC that costs money, I don't know if the freeware version features the same range of conversions, but you may want to try there first.

If that fails, one way to get videos small enough to stream or have a reallly small download time, is to use DivX. It sucks the quality out of the video kind of, but it can take a 600 meg avi and turn it into a 10 meg file. Dr. DivX would be the tool to use in that case. The demo lasts for 15 or 16 days or something, so again I got the full version.

Hope ya find somethin...

Tried a few programs so far and nothing works. It either leaves a huge ad in the video or doesnt support the conversion I need. If you have any other suggestions please let me know. I only have a few days left.

found you a new stack of stuff that could work:

http://www.pdfconverter.com/convert/...vi-to-wmv.html

sounds like some of these should work.

The www.boilsoft.com one sounds like it has something that'd work.


" ASF Converter lets you easily to convert Windows Media files (.asf, .wmv) to AVI/MPEG files, AVI to ASF/WMV files, MPEG to ASF/WMV files, It' easy and fast!"

sounds like that's the ticket.

yeah I tried the boilsoft one but unless you buy it, it leaves a huge BOILSOFT watermark in the middle of the video. I'm using Stoik video converter now. I just need a guinea pig to test the video for me.
