Converting .mov file to .wmv results in poor quality?

[zenfor]

I used Format Factory to convert a .mov video to .wmv and even .avi and the result is the new movie has little squares through it and the closed captioning get washed out some. I have Format Factory on High Quality output. Any ideas on how to get better results when converting or is there a better converter? Thanks!

I guess it converts to wmv2 = crap.

I would try use super and convert to wmv3/wmv9.

Or use mpeg streamclip and export the mov to avi dv/uncompressed/mjpeg and then convert it to wmv using windows media encoder ro windows movie maker.

Or use avisynth with wmnicenc.

Or maybe a commercial software like tmpgenc xpress, total video converter.

Thank you, I had good luck with mpeg streamclip!!
