Converting VOB to WMV or free .mov players for PPC's with WM5

[jaguars-fan]

I have been burning decrypting, shrinking and burning DVD's for a while, but recently purchased an IPAQ1950 with WM5 and am trying to find a free, user friendly app to convert .vob to .wmv or .avi .
My daughter has a Sansa MP3 player that has video capability. It came with a media converter disk, but it converts to .mov. I have successfully converted and downloaded a dvd to her MP3 player, but not for my IPAQ and I cant find a free .mov player to download.

My questions are:
1. can anyone point me to a free .vob to .wmv converter, or
2. point me to a free .mov player for a PPC.

I know there are converters and players out there that will solve my problem in a snap...but I want to do free if possible.

Thanks!

it plays the sansa .mov videos just fine even if there are in a bit of a weird format.

windows movie maker should convert vob to wmv for free.

Is the quicktime player for WM5 machines or for XP machines? I need something I can load onto my PPC.

CorePlayer supports a bunch of different codecs and file types on Pocket PCs.

Using that specific player on the IPAQ opens up the kind of converters and encoders you can use - You can employ about any free encoder out there - just save to 320x240 resolution and h264 or Divx/Xvid.

http://vemode.corecodec.org/ is a decent converter.

While CorePlayer isn't free($20), it'll simplify things considerably
