I'm trying to convert wmv to avi but the software (Viscom
Software Converter)is not helping. Any suggestions
please??

This is the Movie Maker newsgroup so another appropriate answer is that you
can import a wmv file into Movie Maker, and save it as a DV-AVI file

Thanks Bob,

Didn't know that. Trying it now, using a WMV video source with a WMA audio.

File -> Output to file -> AVI file

WARNING: The default settings will save the movie as uncompressed 24-bit
RGB video, with uncompressed PCM audio. The file size will be HUGE --
approximately 234 Mbps (including audio & video).

If you use MM2 to save your movie as compressed DV-AVI, the bit rate will be
approximately 27 Mbps (including audio & video).

A followup note about my using TMPGEnc to convert a WMV file to an AVI.

When I use a 6 second WMV clip for video, and a 20 second WMA clip for
audio, as the input files, I get a 20 second AVI file in both cases. BUT

- when it's made without selecting a compression codec, the video is spread
across the full 20 seconds with the audio. playing in slow motion.
- when I choose the Cinepak codec, the video runs for the 6 seconds, and the
audio continues to the end - so the video and audio play as they do in the
input files

Import the file into Movie Maker as a single clip, put it on the timeline,
and save the movie as a DV-AVI file.
