    Good Day,

    I tried Super, but im not able to correctly convert from WMV to DIVX.

    Is there a simple software to convert from WMV to DIVX?
    Or is there a better format if I simply want to convert all my captured videos
    captured using Movie Maker to a smaller size file???

    Thanks

    wmv is highly compressed, proprietary format. As such, one of the worst stuff for further conversions.
    If wmv isn't what you want, avoid it alltogether. Save out as DV AVI from WMM instead. Much higher quality (and of course file size ~12GB/hour) and easier to work with.

    Next time I capture using WMM Ill try the DV AVI format.

    But for now... How can I reduce the space used by those .wmv files?

    Thanks

    I'd say WMV is as efficient as DivX - there's no inherent gain in going from wmv to DivX. If you can't get the files small enough as wmv, you wont get 'em smaller by encoding to DivX (just lose quality)
    But if you insist - try some of the latest incarnations of VirtualDubMod - It can load wmv (and encode to DivX).
