Question: A good free command line based mpg to wmv converter?
 

My mpg's are about 10meg for 15 or so seconds. I can convert 38meg of mpg to 9 meg of wmv using pinnacle studio, but it is a hassle. Is there a good free batch or command line program that will do the convert for me?

I will also consider converting to avi if I can cut the size without losing quality. And there is a FREE program to batch convert it.



Thanks

How does Microsoft Movie Maker work? I know that you cen get Dr Divx if you look around on p2p networks, but if you dont want to do anything illegal, i am not sure of one.

I use WMM but it's not quick. It does convert mpgs to much smaller wmvs but you have to work through all of their scenes, etc.

Is there any way to convert a rm. video file to mpg. or wmv format ?

Try this one. I have never been good with the DOS commands, but according to this web page, this one works.

thanks, I have that one and it works great for avi to wmv, but not mpg to wmv.

I also have one that goes from mpg to avi, but I was trying to save a step.
