    Hi Silver_Ice,

    The WMV format is usually recommended for putting video on the net.

    Microsofts (free) Windows Movie Maker can convert to WMV. Not sure if it takes MPG as a source though... If not, you'll need to convert your MPG to an accepted input format.
    There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.

    Carpe diem.

    If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.

    I have grown fond of XVID conversion (using TMPGENC save as AVI function) in recent weeks.

    I don't think WMM handles MPEG2 files (at least not for me, all I get is the audio. For WMV, I would use the free Windows Media Encoder, and use the Convert a File option.

    So after converting to wmv, what about the size of the video, meaning width and height, how do i specify that?

    Erm...you specify the size when you do the conversion.

    If you are using Windows Media Converter, there are several presets that you can choose for size and bitrate.
