I am in need of a free video converter that will let me convert WMV format videos to either Cinepak or Video 1 encoded AVIs.
Can someone help?

VirtualDub2. But Cinepak and MS Video 1 are far outdated and slow. There are much better choices if you don't specifically require them.

Thanks! If you're wondering, I needed to convert to Cinepak or Video 1 so I could import some videos into Adobe Premiere 5.0 (which uses those formats) to make a video.

If you search forum there is dedicated thread to cinepak.
Btw i doubt that you need to use cinepak or msvideo to use Adobe Premiere - for sure uncompressed video will work way better than crude lossy compressed video. Cinepak compression is last step process at the end of normal signal chain - target for computers where processor have usually less than 10MIPS.Last edited by pandy; 18th Aug 2018 at 08:51.

Lagarith and UT Video Codec work with VirtualDub, and I believe, Premiere. Those are much better choices for intermediate files. The old Huffyuv is also a good choice for 32 bit Windows. Cinepak sucks. MS Video 1 at its highest quality is better but will give a lot of posterization.

I guess the reason why Premiere 5 seems to require such outdated codecs is that only these outdated codecs are currently installed in Windows. If you install more modern VfW codecs, Premiere 5 will support them too, using the VfW interface. It just relies on Windows here.
