|

anyone know of a cheap, aka, free way to do this? one that doesn't garble audio or only convert half the file, or put an obnoxious banner over the image... the files are less than a minute long if that helps...
thanks |

20 day trial. Convert like mad, uninstall.
Riverpast, but it's not free.
Google your thread title, baby.

having just recently bought a panasonic digital cam I found out that it generates MOV files instead of the WMV that I'm used to with my old SOny. Problem, these won't import to Movie Maker 2 so I can't do anything with them unless I can convert them to WMV.
I looked everywhere but I couldn't find a free solution to the issue. In the end, I had to get Quick Time Pro so I could export as AVI which I can then import to MM2. Pain in the seat of my pants.
Anyone know a free answer to this? |

In the OP...cheap ain't free sweetheart. I went with cheap, being far too silly to know what aka was....thought he was choking.
Well, y'all are as good at installing Google as I am, so knock yourselves out! |
