WMV to XVID problem

[DesertRat]

I am trying to convert a WMV format file to Xvid, I keep getting errors of this type:

Stream #0.1, 29.97 fps(r): Video: WMV3 / 0x33564D57, 640x360
Codec type mismatch for mapping #0.0 -> #0.0

Is there some codec I have to add to the pack?
TIA!

Nope. Tried various choices. Here's an example:

Where do I find a supported codec?

WMV3 video is not supported. Use Flip4Mac codecs for MicroStuff.

Sorry, I don't understand. Could you explain a bit more. I have FLip For Mac.

If you have flip4mac installed, then enable "Decode with Quicktime", or convert first the movie by using Quicktime Player and then convert back the result by using ffmpegX.

Did that but had to add the sound from the WMV file. The video quality was pretty bad on the conversion. The video on the original was good.
