I've tried downloading two now and none of them have worked.

What I need is something that can do .mpg > .wmv


Many thanks

ErightSoft SUPER

Why are you converting to WMV? The quality of what you get is normally not that good.

If it's an original xbox chip it and run XBMC on it, that'll play anything.
If it's a 360... yeah... WMV only. For the moment.

Polarbert,

Do you have any idea if it is an Mpeg1 or Mpeg2? Usually if you already have MPEG decoding software (DVD player) on your system Windows Media Encoder will not hurl on you. Without the decoding software you may have issues.

I have that on my laptop, but not on my home pc which is annoying. The only thing i can track it down to is missing codecs.
