Converting from WMV to MPG

[zsgt]

Can someone help me please.
I need a program that can convert WMV to MPG or AVI.
I've tried TMPGENC but it doesn't work, I should have all the codecs, but not to sure as to which ones I need for the WMV files, I have the latest Media Player. So does anyone know what else I could do?

Interesting. Which version of TMPGEnc you have, and what error message do you get?

yes, why won't it work?

I just converted a bunch of wmv files to dvd-mpeg with TMPGenc 2.59, the only issue I ran into was in selecting my file - I had to select "all files" under file types so I could select the wmv - once I selected it, it loaded and converted with no problems.

If you can't get it to work directly, you could download Stoik Video Convertor (freeware, do a Google search) and convert from wmv to avi, then convert the avi to mpeg.

change file extension .wmv to .asf and open in tmpgenc

change file extension .wmv to .asf and open in tmpgenc

I just tried this and Tmpgenc is saying the file can't open because it's unsupported.
